58, Facit #77v2, AFA #43ay [1905 2 øre Numeral and Wavy Lines, Crown Watermark, Perf 12.75] "PARTIALLY MISSING HEARTS" plate variety listed in both Facit and AFA Specialized. Usually examples with this much of the hearts missing are offered as "completely missing hearts", but that would not be correct. Both varieties are are not transient variations caused by too much inking; they are constant flaws that developed due to wear of the cliches (and likely due very shallow relief of that area of the cliches at the time of cliche manufacture). Used with F-VF centering and fully dated 3 September 1907 cancellation. The variety is clearly visible (or perhaps I should say "clearly not visible" since the partially missing hearts is the variety). Seldom offered, and when offered, many times it is not the actual variety. This is a nice one! |

59, Facit #78v1, AFA #44bx [1905 3 øre Numeral and Wavy Lines, Crown Watermark, Perf 12.75] "MA" JOINED plate variety listed in both Facit and AFA Specialized. This variety only exists in 3 sheet positions (31, 38, 95). Mint, extremely lightly hinged, with VF centering. This variety is always in demand because it is so obvious, however, it is seldom offered. |

60 [1905 4 øre Numeral and Wavy Lines, Crown Watermark, Perf 12.75] Mint, hinged, with XF/VF centering, BLOCK OF FOUR. Very fresh and attractive appearance. The color shade, paper, and impression strongly suggest that this block is from the first (scarcer) printing series (1905-1907; AFA #45a). Though normal Mint stamps are certainly not "scarce", blocks have become much harder to find in the last 20-30 years, particularly such nicely centered blocks. |

60, Facit #79v2, AFA #45ay [1905 4 øre Numeral and Wavy Lines, Crown Watermark, Perf 12.75] "AR" JOINED AT BOTTOM plate variety listed in both Facit and AFA Specialized. This variety only exists in a total of 5 positions in the C and D sheets of the first printing series (1905-1907). There are two extremely similar versions of the variety: 1) From a matrix flaw that resulted in the vareity in sheet positions 29, 31, 44, 46; and 2) an individual cliche flaw that resulted in the variety in sheet position 39. I believe that this example is one of the four matrix flaw positions. Used with VF centering and dated [6 or 16 or 26] June 1907 cancellation. The variety is clearly visible. This variety is always in demand because it is so obvious, however, it is seldom offered. |

61 [1912 5 øre Numeral and Wavy Lines, Crown Watermark, Perf 12.75] Used BLOCK OF FOUR with F-VF centering, but with a couple minor bends as expected on a postally used block. Just as a point of interest (not affecting the price), this block shows an example of what is today called "revenue protection". The block was placed sideways on the envelope and received a machine cancellation which thus was mostly on two stamps (and a tiny bit on a third). Thus an observant postal clerk applied a handstamped cancel to fully cancel the other two stamps. Back then, it was "worth" the effort for postal clerks to do this, to prevent re-use of stamps, since the postage cost was "real money" to an ordinary person. While this is a "very common" stamp in Used condition, used blocks are very seldom offered! |

62 [1912 10 øre Numeral and Wavy Lines, Crown Watermark, Perf 12.75] Used BLOCK OF FOUR with VF centering, but XF appearance. No defects. AALBORG 20 May 1914 cancellations. While this is a "very common" stamp in Used condition, used blocks are very seldom offered -- the AFA Block Catalog 2017 (most recent edition) listed the value at 60 DKK! |

64 Blackish Blue, Facit #83b, AFA #66a [1912 20 øre Wavy-Line, Perf 12.75, Crown Watermark] Used with XF centering and light cancellation. There is a spot for this stamp in most European-made albums for Denmark. An outstanding example of a stamp that is missing from most collections (and even when the spot is filled, it is often incorrectly filled with a dark shade of the dark blue normal stamp). |
