Particularly attractive and scarce stamps that will make a wonderful addition to your collection. These issues are not often offered! Scott numbers have been used in this listing unless otherwise noted.
10-18 "American Issue" complete POSTALLY USED set on 1957 registered airmail cover from SDR. STRØMFJORD to the United States. While the cover is certainly philatelic, the stamps have been postally used from Greenland -- something that is not often seen. An outstanding value, priced at only the value of the used stamps!

19-27 [1945 "American Issue" overprint set] (VF) complete set on fresh and attractive philatelic (of course) cover with JAKOBSHAVN 1950 cancellations, actually canceled in Greenland. (Most these overprinted stamps were canceled at the Greenland KGH office in Copenhagen; examples with Greenland village cancellations are much, much scarcer.) The Facit 2007 value for a used set is SEK 7200 = $1050 and my selling price for a used set of stamps is $840 (and they sell whenever I get them!). This wonderful cover is priced at only the value of the used set of stamps!
