13 CARMINE, IMPERFORATE [1864 4 skilling Crown and Scepter] The Carmine color (Print 1) in a Superb top-margin imperforate 4-block (Facit #13av6). The gum of the top right stamp shows what may be the tiniest of light hinge marks, or it may just be a natural gum imperfection. The other three stamps are absolutely NH. Neither Facit nor AFA list the imperforate in NH condition, however for perforated Print 1 stamps, they list at least a 100% premium for NH. Facit 2009 and AFA 2009 respectively list imperforate hinged single stamps at SEK 2000 and DKK 2000 = US$260 and US$360 [7/09]! Applying a 100% premium, this would amount to $1820 and $2520!

Applying a 100% premium to the left stamp, this pair would amount to $780 and $1080! Incredibly deep, rich color and extremely fresh. Pair to be removed from a block. The image shows the stamp still in the upper position in the block, graphically cropped.

Facit 2009 value for normally centered (i.e. usually only Fine) NH singles is SEK 1100 = US$140 [7/09]. The Light Gray stamps are generally quite difficult to obtain in mint (LH or NH) condition with VF centering, to say nothing of examples as nice as this. Wonderfully fresh and in extraordinary quality!

44d, Facit #40b, AFA #25C [8 øre Perf 12.75, WATERMARK NEW CROWN, Print 121 (1902)]. Brilliant right margin NEVER HINGED 4-block from positions A29-30/39-40. Fine/F-VF centering. Appears to have been last sold in 1993 in a Christies auction where it was described as being from "the unique quarter sheet discovered by F.T.N. Caröe". Accompanied by Lasse Nielsen certificate stating "very fine item". An extremely scarce stamp as a single in Mint hinged condition and RARE as either a block or a single in NH condition. Value as singles: Facit 2007 SEK 36,000 = $5000. AFA 2007 DKK 34,500 = $5700. This block certainly has a break-up value of more than my price. This block is a showpiece with excellent investment potential as the value is supported by the four stamps which are constantly sought after by every serious collector of Danish stamps.

136a [1915 80 on 12 surcharge Bicolor, Inverted Frame] NH VF INVERTED FRAME stamp, position #51 in the sheet, as lower left stamp in a VF/F-VF left-margin 4-block. Upper left stamp is lightly hinged, but the other three, including the rare inverted frame are NH! There were only 500 sheets surcharged, thus only 500 Inverted Frame stamps originally existed; I estimate that less than 200 mint examples still exist today -- and probably less than 100 of those are still never hinged -- and probably relatively few of those have VF centering! The 2009 AFA Catalog value for just the NH Inverted Frame single stamp is DKK 5000 = US$1000 [11/09] for normal centering! That figure is really too low for a stamp that is this scarce and especially one in such nice quality. The other three stamps have an individual breakup value of about $170. It has probably been at least 10 years since I was last able to offer a NH example of this rare Inverted Frame stamp. Accompanied by Lasse Nielsen photo certificate.

B2 [1921 10 on 20 øre overprint Sønderburg Castle, South Jutland Reunion; Red Cross semi-postal] Used VF 4-block with neat central postmark. Even nice used singles of this stamp are now scarce. Facit 2006 per-stamp value is SEK 600 = $84 and AFA 2006 is DKK 600 = $100 for ordinary quality. Used blocks are seldom seen. Offered just below my "break up" value as four singles!

B7 Used Superb 4-block with Superb "AARHUS 5" cancellation.
B14 "BOMB" variety, AFA 283x, Facit 309v1 [1944 5 on 10 øre surcharge Round Tower (Rundetaarn) Red Cross semi-postal] NH Superb example of what may be the most well-known modern Danish variety: ""bomb" on right side of tower" which is actually a color line that on this example shows clearly above the "5" surcharge (sometimes the surcharge covers it). Centering can vary tremendously on this stamp issue; examples of this scarce variety are rare in such wonderful quality. The best-looking example I have had in 36 years! This stamp is also avidly sought by JUDAICA collectors due to the Hebrew text on it; and sought by Space and Astronomy collectors as the tower was built as an observatory. Again, this is the nicest example I have ever had!

O6 two pairs, O7, O8 [Officials: 3, 4, 8 øre Perf 14] (F-VF, F-VF, Ave) on large piece of registered cover with rare [rarity 9 out of 10; Københavns poststempler] EXPERIMENTAL violet clock postmark: "Expederet / F. / Kjöbenhavns Brevpostkontor" with roman-numeral hour dial and arabic-numeral minute dial. The 21 October 1892 date is earlier than the earliest date (19 November) reported in the København cancel book; however it is also noted that after-strikes were also done by Bøgh and Andersen. The AFA value of four used 3 øre Official stamps is DKK 1200 = $205! Regardless, this is a beautiful example of a very rare postmark.

Q2 [1930 10 øre Brown Typographed Wavy-Lines] REVERSED WATERMARK Used VF/F-VF 10-BLOCK with neat 1931 cancellations. AFA 2008 Specialized Catalog value for each single reversed watermark stamp is DKK 400 or 4000++ for the block = US$680++ (3/09). The reversed watermarks are usually hard to see, but this one is easy to see due to the attached bottom margin. [This block could be divided; please inquire if interested in a 4-block or a single.]
Q11 [1919 l kr Brown Postfærge] Used VF with excellent violet straight-line "Fanø-Esbjerg Færge" cancellation; correct type of postmark only used in the proper period. This value is notorious for very poor centering; this example is exceptional. [Facit 2006 value is SEK 1500 = $210 for typical (only Fine) centering; this example.]
