Scott #2-6 Complete Set (Type I) [1940-41 Overprints] Used with VF centering (Scott #5 50-on-5 øre is F-VF centered), all with neat, correct cancellation types in use at that time. As a "free bonus", the Scott #5 (50-on-5 øre) has the Daka (2017) #7ø OVERPRINT VARIETY: "left end of bottom bar is shorter" from plate position 78 -- this variety roughly doubles the value of the stamp! Also as an additional "free bonus", the Scott #3 (20-on-5 øre) has a partial, faint "starless" (uds) cancellation and Scott #4 (20-on-15 øre) has a neat, partial, readable (AND)EFJORD "starless" (uds) cancellation -- that is one of the scarcer starless (uds) cancellations. This is a very attractive scarcer set that is missing from many collections. (I guarantee that this set is genuine. It is not a set that normally requires a certificate, however, this set already comes with a certificate.) Scott #3 and #4 only exist in one overprint type. However, Scott #2, #5, and #6 exist in two overprint types. Overprint Type 1 is the lower cost type.Accompanied by a 1994 Lars Svendsen color photo certificate; a respected expertizer in his day. This is great set of stamps that can be quite hard to find with such nice appearance. The individual total of these stamps normal prices (adjusting for the #5 in F-VF) is $506. The variety on the #5 would add another $50 and the postmark on the #4 would add another $25, for a grand total of $581. This set is offered, with the certificate included, at a significant discount!

Scott #2 Type II, Facit #4II, AFA #2B, Daka GF10 2017 #9 [28 May 1941 (2nd Printing) 20 øre overprint on 1 øre Wavy-Line Numeral] Mint, hinged, with VF centering. Very fresh and bright with well-centered stamp and well-centered overprint. The Type II overprint was the result of a second printing, issued 28 May 1941 (the first printing was issued 2 May 1941). Type II has 13 mm spacing between the 20s, measured from right side to right side of the "0" numerals in the overprint (Type I has 12 mm spacing).The Type II stamps are much scarcer and can also be quite difficult to find with nice centering.

Scott #4 OVERPRINT VARIETY, Daka GF10 2017 #6r [1940 20 øre overprint on 15 øre Caravel] Mint, very lightly hinged, with F-VF centering. Very fresh and bright. Daka-listed "SHORT BAR" overprint variety from position 78 in the sheet; the left edge of the bar is in the normal position, but the right edge of the bar lines up with the right inside edge of the "0" (instead of lining up with the center-to-right outside edge of the "0").

Scott #3 OVERPRINT VARIETY, Daka GF10 2017 #5æ [1941 20 øre overprint on 5 øre Wavy-Line Numeral] Mint, lightly hinged, with Superb centering, but WITH A THIN in the hinge area. Very fresh and bright, with "perfect" centering. Daka-listed "POINTED BOTTOM OF RIGHT BAR" overprint variety from position 92 in the sheet. (There is a somewhat similar variety that has additional damage to the inside edge of the right bar, from position 42, but this is not that variety.) This beautiful stamp without the overprint variety, but with this Superb centering and hinged would be $65 -- and the variety it would have been $80. This example, with the thin, is offered at a very reasonable price.

The Type I overprint was issued 2 May 1941 (the second printing was issued 28 May 1941). Type I has 12 mm spacing between the 20s, measured from right side to right side of the "0" numerals in the overprint (Type II has 13 mm spacing). The Type II stamps are scarcer. Completely NH and absolutely no defects, but offered at a very low price because of the centering. For comparison, Type I NH VF would be $70!

[This Codfish stamp production method is unique and every stamp is unique: A piece of dried codfish skin (the yellow part in the image) was applied to the stamp and then printed in red by typography. The skin pattern is different on every stamp, thus every stamp is unique.] [246386]

1983 Nordic Costumes. 101 YELLOWISH GUM [1983 Nordic House souvenir sheet (costumes and flags)] Two types of paper/gum were utilized for printing this issue; they appear to have been printed / processed at different times, or in different batches, because the two types are also consistently cut to different sizes. I have not found any published information which states which, if either, type is scarcer, however, in my experience, THIS YELLOWISH GUM type is seen more frequently than the White Gum type (though DAKA GF10 assigns equal prices to them). DIFFERENCES: Under daylight, gum more yellowish; backside under UV light much duller; and consistently cut 120 mm wide (instead of 121 mm). Listed by DAKA GF10, however, I have never noticed any dealer offering specifically offering either type for sale! This is priced the same as the "normal" undifferentiated type I offer in the regular stamp listings. [If you do not know which type you have, but you would like to obtain the other type, AT THE SAME TIME AS ORDERING OTHER STAMPS you are welcome to send your example to me with instructions for me to return it along with the other type you need.]

2017 "The Seven Swans" Fairy Tale BLACKPRINT of Scott #688a souvenir sheet (containing both stamp designs). Imperforate, NH VF. This stamp issue is designed in a Chinese style by Li Yunzhong and engraved by Martin Mörck. (Some of the Scandinavian post offices have been doing a lot cooperative and training work with Chinese stamp artists and engravers.) Issued in a limited quantity and probably many sold to Chinese collectors. This has interest from Faroe collectors, Mörck collectors, China-related collectors, and collectors of Chinese art, etc.

2019 "Old Watermill" BLACKPRINT design of the 35 kr stamp of the set, Scott #???. These little-known artifacts of Faroe life were already in use in the late 1700s. They were entirely built in the Faroes, except the millstone had to be imported due to lack of the suitable type of rock in the Faroes. They were mostly very small -- this one shows the height of the building is not much more than a man. Imperforate, NH VF. Engraved by Martin Mörck. Only 1500 printed; they were included in the 2019 Year BOOK, but the post office stated that only 400 examples would be sold separately (i.e. not in the year book). I believe that many collectors missed this issue. In addition to being sought by collectors of Mörck engravings, it is also of thematic interest to a varied range of collectors (mills, falling water, architecture, traditional clothing, engineering, etc.).

65 Olive COLOR ERROR [1981 10 oyru Rune Stone] NH VF single in Yellowish Olive Green instead of the normal Gray Green. Our late friend and Faroe modern-issues expert Art Quarles, who had many personal contacts inside the Faroe post office, was "absolutely sure" that this color difference existed when the Faroe post office received their supply from the stamp printer and that it was not a color changeling. I last had a few examples of this error back in 2007 and all very quickly sold for $250 each. Recently I obtained a few more examples, but I now have only one example still available.

19 [1975 450 oyru Farm] "BROWN HILL" variety. This variety in which the hillside in the upper left corner is distinctly brownish has been well known since 1975 or 1976. Yet it has never been catalog listed whereas many lesser varieties have been listed. This variety is somewhat scarcer than the usual "green hill" stamps.
