1621 BACKING PAPER VERTICAL DIE-CUTTING MISSING ERROR [2013 8.00 "Kaj and Andrea" Childrens TV characters, sheet issue] NH VF horizontal PAIR missing the vertical die-cutting in the backing paper BETWEEN the two stamps (die cutting around the perimeter is present). Any types of errors are rare on modern Danish stamps; I have not before seen this type of error on any Scandinavian/Nordic stamp!

271 With Hook on Spar (Facit #241v, AFA #264a) [1940 20 øre Surcharge on 15 øre Red Caravel, AFA Type IIA] Mint, reasonably hinged, with VF++ centering. A key Danish stamp missing from most collections. It is actually harder to find attractive hinged examples (which have a much lower cost) than never hinged examples. Wonderfully fresh.

24 [1878 48 skilling Bicolor, Perf 12.5] Used with F-VF+ centering. The perforations look normal (a bit blunted at bottom), but the stamp is too narrow; one or both sides has been reperforated, but in a very natural looking way. Otherwise $280 for F-VF! Nice looking stamp with a neat #52 (Præstø) cancellation and very strong color for this issue.

236992

35 Printing 2 [1882 5 øre Arms with Small Corner Numerals] Used VF horizontal strip of three with neat "KIOBENHAVN G" cancellations. The Print 2 was confirmed by Lasse Nielsen who plated it to positions 46-48. Used multiples of this stamp are extremely scarce for three reasons: a) The paper of the Small Numeral stamps is extremely thin, thus easily damaged; b) the perforations are very delicate and multiples fall apart easily; and c) the 5 øre stamp was intended for the foreign printed matter rate (there was no specific rate for 15 øre) which was roughly treated (stamps easily damaged), rarely heavy enough to need more than one or two stamps, and printed matter was rarely saved (a single on cover catalogs for over $1200!). Printing 2 is one of the scarce printings; AFA 2008 Specialized value for three single stamps is DKK 3600 = $600+++. This 3-strip is in exceptional quality with wonderful color. From the Farrington collection.

35 Printing 2 [1882 5 øre Arms with Small Corner Numerals] Used F-VF+ with perfectly centered "HELSINGØR / 4 TOG" (4th train) cancellation, but also with two additional partial strikes. Print 2 was confirmed by Lasse Nielsen; it is one of the scarcer printings; AFA 2008 Specialized value is DKK 1200 = $200. The paper of the Small Numeral stamps is extremely thin, thus easily damaged; not many have survived. Fresh and attractive.

35 Printing 2 [1882 5 øre Arms with Small Corner Numerals] Used F-VF+ with nice 2-ring mute parcel post cancellation. Print 2 was confirmed by Lasse Nielsen; it is one of the scarcer printings; AFA 2008 Specialized value is DKK 1200 = $200. The paper of the Small Numeral stamps is extremely thin, thus easily damaged; not many have survived. This example has one slightly short perforation, but it is hidden by the postmark. Fresh and attractive.

39 Printing 3 ANILINE RED, AFA #35a, Facit #54b [1885 (September 1886 printing) 10 øre Arms with Large Corner Numerals, Perf 14 x 13.5] Used Superb with perfect centering and perfectly centered FREDERIKSHAVN cancellation. Print 3 was confirmed by Lasse Nielsen. It is a very obvious color difference and is included in some printed albums. AFA 2012 value with well-centered cancellation is DKK 550 = $93, but this example is still significantly better than that standard. An outstanding example! From the Farrington collection.

O10 [1899 8 øre Official, Perf 12.75] Used Fine+ with significant plate variety: cut in bottom frame below "8". Shown by Regeling as Cliche variety C70. White paper and Lilacish Rose Carmine places in Print 13 (Prints 12-14 were the Perf 12.75 stamps), position 92.

220 Type II, Invisible Gum, Fluorescent (variety), AFA #196aFux [1933 1 øre Wavy-Line / Numeral; 1969 (?) printing]. NH VF lower left corner margin plate number L146 10-block showing the "x" RE-ENTRY variety in plate position 85, the upper right stamp in the block. The RE-ENTRY appears as horizontal lines extending into the left margin below the upper left lion, as well as color spots between the ovals to the upper left of the large "1" (illustrated by Sava). This is the only catalog-listed variety (including by Sava) on this stamp. Though the catalog value is not high, it is rarely offered.

Boom #3.11cf, Facit #H9, AFA #2kr-2 [1935 H.C. Andersen] PARTIAL BOOKLET containing ONLY ONE OF EACH OF THE THREE PANES. The panes are NH VF in excellent quality. This example features: "Den lille pige med svovlstikkerne" (The Little Match Girl) story on the interleaves; Success chocolate back cover; and yellow perforated coupon. The contents listing on the front cover has been crossed out in pencil. Normally complete booklets sell in the $450 area, but that is too costly to break up for the panes, but that is often the only want to get the individual panes. This example is PRICED AT LESS THAN THE THREE PANES!

Boom #3.12ej, Facit #H9, AFA #2kr-2 [1935 H.C. Andersen] NH VF complete booklet in wonderful, fresh quality. This example features: Sommerfuglen (The Butterfly) story on the interleaves; Marcipan back cover; and yellow rouletted coupon. The Sommerfuglen story is the most sought after by thematic collectors. The 2012 AFA value for the booklet is DKK 3500 = US$600 [11/12]. The booklets of this issue are often "well handled" but this example is pristine!

236726

66 [1904 20 øre blue Christian IX] SET OF TWO Mint Fine 4-BLOCKS in two distinctly different color shades: Dark Blue and Medium Blue with blue-toned paper. The darker block has one stamp (upper right) with tiny thin speck. The blue-toned-paper block is very interesting with many copper-plate-engraved plate scratches bending in all directions, likely caused by hand-wiping the plate too hard with an abrasive cloth (and probably significantly shortening the life of the plate); this is not often seen so prominently. Priced at only the value of 7 Mint Fine stamps!

236736

AFA Coil #1a [1919 7+3 øre VERTICAL] Used Fine pair with the scarce PEARL GRAY 3 øre. The 3 øre stamp alone would sell for $175; AFA 2012 lists the pair at DKK 2200 = US$375! Attractive with neat, fully dated (unusual) 1920 cancellation in correct period.

250.00

236659

163, AFA #117x, Facit #115v1 [1921 8 surcharge on 3 øre Wavy-Line] Used Fine+ with neat cancellation. The well-known "MA connected" plate variety. The cancel is very close to the variety, but it is clear that this is the variety. Much harder to obtain than the catalog values suggest.

Scott #32, AFA #29, Facit #35d. Printing 4. [1875 25 øre Bicolor, perforation 14 x 13.5 (1889 printing)] Used F-VF with well-centered and complete "RIBE / 4 POST" lapidar (sans-serif) style cancellation. Very fresh and attractive.

---

236525

O4 [1871 4 skilling Official PERFORATION 12.5] Used Space Filler. Fine centered, but with piece (mostly in the margin) missing in the upper left corner. Otherwise the usual rough perforations normal for this stamp. This is one of the scarcest Danish stamps (only #21 is on more want lists). A very low-priced example.

---

80 LARGE PEARL FLAW Position 83, AFA #61z, Facit #48v1 [1912 35 surcharge on 20 øre Bicolor] Mint Fine with a clear example of the "large pearl flaw" variety (white area in upper right corner ornament). Dark spot on one perf at bottom and one shorter perf at bottom. Otherwise very nice with bright colors. AFA 2012 value DKK 900 = $150 [8/2012]. Seldom offered major variety.

AFA Coil #3a/4a [1919 (7+)3+7+3 øre VERTICAL] Used Fine FOUR-STRIP with the scarce PEARL GRAY 3 øre. Attractive with neat cancellations. The 3 øre stamps alone would sell for $350 total. However, AFA 2012 lists the #3a 3-strip at DKK 4500 = US$765! The scarcest item in this 4-strip is the #3a (3+7+3) 3-strip, which is the scarcest of all the Danish coil combination items. The top 7 øre stamp does not really add to the financial value and could safely be removed if only a 3-strip was desired for mounting in a collection.

Right two stamps are VF, left two are F-VF. The perforations are strong. Lower right stamp has a minor tone spot on one perforation (some people would probably not mention it). A classic multiple with wonderfully fresh appearance. Accompanied by 1974 S. Grønlund photo certificate and 2011 Jay Smith photo certificate with lifetime guarantee. 2012 AFA Catalog value for the four singles is DKK 4800 = $950, and the AFA 2012 prices the block at DKK 8000 = $1600! Even as singles, this stamp is undervalued by the catalogs; it is resident on almost all the want lists I see.

O4 [1871 4 skilling Official PERFORATION 12.5] Used F-VF centered, on small piece, however with perforations clipped at bottom. The cancellation is "LØGTN" Esrom-type (precursor to the star cancellations) postmark from Løgten Kro. Esrom-type cancellations are scarce on any of the skilling-denomination stamps, however, they are much scarcer on official stamps; the Esrom-type cancellations were used at tiny places that handled very little official mail. While the clipped perforations are a defect, it is not uncommon to see them on this stamp -- it seems that government office workers were too lazy to tear stamps at the perforations. The presence of the LØGTN postmark makes this scarce stamp an extremely scarce example. This is one of the scarcest Danish stamps (only #21 is on more want lists). A very pretty and reasonably priced example.

O15 BRICK RED (Facit #TJ15b, AFA TJ10a) [1911 10 øre Official, Perf 12.75, Crown Watermark] NH VF+. Wonderfully fresh and bright. Distinctive Orangish Red (instead of Carmine) color. AFA 2011 value DKK 1500 = $300 [9/2011] for typical centering -- VF centering is very scarce! This color is seldom offered hinged and rarely offered NH and even then many are misidentified. A terrific example.

O15 BRICK RED (Facit #TJ15b, AFA TJ10a) [1911 10 øre Official, Perf 12.75, Crown Watermark] NH F-VF (it is F-VF instead of VF because the stamp itself is much taller than usual). Wonderfully fresh and bright. Distinctive Orangish Red (instead of Carmine) color. AFA 2011 value DKK 1500 = $300 [9/2011] for typical centering! This color is seldom offered hinged and rarely offered NH and even then many are misidentified. A great example.

O22 [1921 10 øre Green Official, Watermark Crosses] Used Superb 4-BLOCK with correctly dated 22 November 1923 cancellation. Scarce well centered and even scarcer with year-dated cancellation. AFA 2011 Block Catalog value is DKK 300 = $60 [9/2011] for typical centering. This stamp had a short life as Officials were discontinued on 31 March 1924.

O23 [1919 15 øre Official, Watermark Crosses] NH VF/F-VF right marginal block of six. (The stamps are NH, the selvage is hinged.) The two stamps in the center row (which is row six of the sheet, confirmed by the marginal dot between the first two rows) are both the "Wide E" variety (all of row six has this variety) listed by AFA as #TJ16x and Facit #TJ23v. Very fresh and attractive position piece. AFA 2011 value just as the six stamps is DKK 2080 = $416 [9/2011] without the approximate 40% premium for the block! Wonderfully fresh and attractive.
