Denmark Scott #35 [1882 5 øre Arms with Small Corner Numerals, Perf 14 x 13.5] Used with F-VF+ centering and neat SWEDISH RAILWAY cancellation (likely resulting from Danish-Swedish railway-ferry traffic), but with tiny thin spot. Very attractive example, with great dark yellow-green color, clearly showing the features of this Small Corner Numerals stamp (including the gap between the oval and top and bottom frame lines). A scarcer stamp that would otherwise be $100 with this centering, with a normal cancellation. An unusual example! |

39 [1885 10 øre Arms with Large Corner Numerals, Perf 14 x 13.5] Used with F-VF centering and neat, almost full cancellation "KØBENH. BAN... / KB". Plate variety with chamfered upper left corner. An interesting example. |

39a, Facit #51, AFA #35x [1885 (Print 6, 1888) 10 øre Arms with SMALL Corner Numerals, Perf 14 x 13.5] Used with F-VF centering and neat "(KØBE)NHAVN G" cancellation. This error came about when three reserve cliches from the 1882 postal card issue were accidentally placed among the cliches for printing stamps. The three error cliches only exist from sheet positions 94, 96, and 97, all only in Printing 6. Interestingly, Scott and AFA list this stamp as varieties of the large corner numeral issues, however Facit lists it with the 5 and 20 øre small corner numeral stamps (Scott #35 and 37), considering it a "major" stamp, not a variety. Due to the plate layout vs the cliche size, and how the printers registered the perforations (selected a place on the sheet where the stamps would be well centered), the bottom row -- where all these come from -- is virtually always only Fine centered or worse. This example is F-VF centered, which is actually quite a bit nicer than usual for this "rare" item. A "rare" stamp that is missing from virtually all collections of Denmark. Facit 2024 value SEK 6,500 (about $650 1/2024); AFA 2023 value is DKK 4,500 (about $675 1/2024). An outstanding example of a stamp that is seldom offered. This is the first Used example that I have been able to offer in many years. This stamp is accompanied by a Jay Smith color image certificate with lifetime guarantee (further details of the guarantee are available). [C#02852-01-007] |

39c PAIR Containing Scott #39a. Facit #51v2, AFA #35x [1885 (Print 6, 1888) 10 øre Arms with SMALL Corner Numerals, Perf 14 x 13.5] Mint hinged with Just-Fine centering. Original gum, slightly disturbed, with hinge remnant in place to help stabilize the pair. Horizontal PAIR of Scott #39 and #39a (thus Scott #39c pair). The #39a, small corner numerals stamp, is on the right, and is from plate position 96. This pair is INTACT, but with some perforation separation, with the remaining intact perforations reinforced by a hinge remnant. This error came about when three reserve cliches from the 1882 postal card issue were accidentally placed among the cliches for printing stamps. The three error cliches exist from sheet positions 94, 96, and 97, all only in Printing 6. The three positions can be discerned by small details in the printing impression and by the small irregularities in the perforation teeth. The crisp paper and the fine, large-hole perforations result in pairs / multiples being fragile, with the consequence that most pairs have fallen apart many a very long time ago. Interestingly, Scott and AFA list this stamp as varieties of the large corner numeral issues, however Facit lists it with the 5 and 20 øre small corner numeral stamps (Scott #35 and 37). Due to the plate layout vs the cliche size, and how the printers registered the perforations (selected a place on the sheet where the stamps would be well centered), the bottom row -- where all these come from -- is virtually always only Fine centered or worse. This example is Just Fine centered, which is actually typical for this item. The perforations of the left stamp (normal 39) barely clear the design, but the right stamp (the 39a variety) is Fine with perforations completely clearing the design. A "rare" item that is missing from virtually all collections of Denmark. Facit 2024 value SEK 5000 (about $500 10/2023); AFA 2023 value is DKK 4000 (about $600 10/2023); and Scott 2023 value is $600. This pair is much scarcer than those catalog values would suggest. Accompanied by a Jay Smith certificate with "lifetime" guarantee. |

Scott #40 [1884 20 øre Arms, Large Corner Numerals, Perf 14 x 13.5] Mint, no gum, with Superb centering. Such nicely centered examples of this stamp are hard to find. AFA-listed variety #36w "white line in S of POST". Also this example has the lighter color of the earlier printings. Otherwise, a normal example (disregarding the variety and color shade) would be $85 for this Superb centering if Mint Hinged with gum. |

48, Identified as Printing 22 (numbered from first printing of design) in beautiful Used VF+ 8-BLOCK with clear ODENSE 1899 cancellations. The AFA 2009 Block Catalog lists a single used 4-block at DKK 500 = US$85 (3/09), but an 8-block is many, many times scarcer than two four blocks. Sensibly, proactively reinforced. Wonderful quality! |
