65 Olive COLOR ERROR [1981 10 oyru Rune Stone] Used 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. NH examples quickly sell for $250 each. Used are probably more scarce than NH, but perhaps less in demand, thus have a lower price. (Accompanied by normal color example.) |

Faroe 1975-2000 Complete NH Collection in White Ace Album: Complete collection of all stamps and souvenir sheets issued 1975-2000 on pristine White Ace pages with black mounts (perfectly applied). Contained in a handsome like-new White Ace Faroe-imprinted (very nice) binder. I have not checked every single stamp, but every stamp I have checked has been NH VF and I am 99.9% sure that is the case throughout. Every 1975-2000 space is correctly filled. 1975-2000 offered exactly as purchased; not a single stamp removed even though there are some I need for stock. My already-discounted year set prices for these stamps total $628. I am selling this at a lower price because I do not have time to stock every single stamp and it just looks too nice to break up. You get the complete 1975-2000 country plus the album for only 75% of the just the already-discounted year set prices! This is a terrific bargain! If at the same time you would like to order any of the later year sets and/or any Faroe booklets, I will give a further 10% discount on those. Shipping cost is additional for this item. |

Scott #1 [1919 2 øre overprint on 5 øre Christian X] Used F-VF on typical small piece with full, perfectly centered, TRANGISVAAG 19 January 1919 cancellation. An excellent example, seldom seen canceled outside of Thorshavn (the catalogs state a 30-50% premium for cancels outside of Thorshavn) as very few of the stamps were distributed to other post offices (instead such letters were sometimes paid, but sent to Thorshavn for application of the stamp and canceling). Furthermore, cancels were rarely center-struck because an additional 5 øre stamp was usually next to them. A handsome example. Accompanied by Royal Philatelic Society (London) photo certificate and Jay Smith photo certificate with lifetime guarantee. |

1941 10 øre FRANCO BETALT -- Postage Paid handstamp used to supplement the Faroe #2-6 surcharges. In addition to surcharging the stamps that became Faroe #2-6, the Faroe post office had "postage paid" handstamps locally made in 5, 10, and 20 øre denominations. These handstamps were applied to unfranked mail brought to the postal counters, usually when there was a quantity of mail. The town postmark was struck along side. (For increased flexibility, the denomination was removed from a couple of the handstamps.) Use of the 10 øre handstamp in Thorshavn ran 10 May through 10 June 1941. Because these did not "look like stamps" and because they were most often used on business mail and printed matter, they were apparently usually discarded and rather few examples were saved. This is a 30 May use on an extremely attractive commercial cover. Such nice examples are very scarce. Accompanied by Jay Smith photo certificate with lifetime guarantee. |

2 Surcharge Type II [20 on 1 øre WWII Provisional Surcharge, Type II issued 28 May 1941] Mint F-VF example, extremely lightly hinged. In terms of relative rarity compared to the Type I surcharge of the same denomination, this is by far the scarcest of the three Type II surcharges. Very attractive and seldom offered. |

2 [20 on 1 øre WWII Provisional Surcharge] Used VF on piece with THORSHAVN pictorial codfish cancellation (translates to "Eat Faroese Codfish"). Surcharge variety: DAKA GF10 #4o "Short top bar" which doubles the value of the normal stamp (normal used VF stamps sell for $115). |

3 [20 on 5 øre WWII Provisional Surcharge] Used VF on piece with THORSHAVN pictorial codfish cancellation (translates to "Eat Faroese Codfish"). This example is interesting because when viewed under 10x magnification, the surcharge appears to be slightly doubled in the way that the Type II surcharges appear, but they only exist on #2, 5, and 6, at least that is what we have long believed to be the case. |
