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. |

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. |

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! |
