Scott #10-18 [1945 "American Issue"] Complete set with red "SPECIMEN" overprint and punch hole. These Greenlandic stamps were ordered printed during WWII by the from the American Banknote Company in New York. The printing company maintained an extensive archive of their work. As was their custom, archived stamps were overprinted SPECIMEN and received a punch hole. When the company was dissolved, the stamp archives were sold at auction ca.1987-1990 by the Christies auction firm. Three sets of sheets (of 100) of this 1945 issue with SPECIMEN overprints were discovered in the archives, but one set was badly damaged, and parts of the others were not fully broken up, leaving around 200 sets on the market. The sets were quickly widely dispersed (I personally sold around 40 sets in the 1990s at $1200 per set) and quickly became extremely difficult to obtain. These specimen overprints (maximum 300 each, but more likely around 200 individual sets) are scarcer than the inverted overprints (of which there are not more than 400 each); and never hinged examples of those inverted overprints sell for around $800-1000 PER STAMP. This particular set is NEVER HINGED and in extraordinarily nice quality. The 7 øre and 5 kr are F-VF+ centered, while all the others are VF or XF or Superb. This set has come from the Margaret Morris collection. All are wonderfully fresh. Accompanied by a Jay Smith color image certificate with "lifetime guarantee".

28-38 [1950-1959 King Frederik IX and Ship "Gustav Holm"] NH F-VF / VF set of 4-blocks. Most are VF; only 31, 33, and 37 are F-VF. Very fresh and bright. For comparison, a NH F-VF set of singles sells for $116.50 -- $466 for four sets (but most of these are nicer VF centering). Offered for a little less than the break-up value!

35 [1950 50 øre Sail-Steam Ship Gustav Holm in front of Iceberg] NH with VF centering. With "colored line in lower right part of G of GRØN" plate variety, listed by Daka as #35x (sheet position 2 in every second sheet; every source agrees). AFA #33x, older Wowern #33 pos 2. The illustration in Daka suggests that it is a straight line, but the illustration in older Wowern catalogs is more accurate, the line is somewhat curved like a C. The catalogs illustrations suggest that the line is bold, but it is always faint, just like this example. This variety is very much sought after, but is very seldom offered. This stamp is the key value of the set (even without the variety). The AFA Specialized Catalog 2016 (most recent) assigns a value of DKK 1200, probably the highest value of any Greenland regular-stamp plate variety.

37 [1950 2 kr Sail-Steam Ship Gustav Holm in front of Iceberg] Used with F-VF centering. With "re-entry / doubling of bottom frame line at right, and D area -- and colored spot in top margin above I of LIG" plate variety, listed by Daka as #37x. (sheet position 3; in every second sheet according to Wowern and AFA but Daka does not specify). AFA #35, older Wowern #35 pos 3. This variety, caused by an error when making the plate -- not a scratch on the plate -- is rarely offered.

226a INVERTED OVERPRINT [1996 4.25 overprint on 0.25 Queen; Slania-engraved underlying stamp]. NH example with XF centering (tremendously better than usual for this major error; about as good as they get) with top margin selvage showing a sheet-margin position dot which can locate this stamp position in the sheet. Accompanied by a 2024 Jay Smith color image certificate with "lifetime guarantee". These errors were first discovered by Thorkild Jakobsen who purchased error stamps at the post office in Ilulissat, Greenland. Approximately 750 total examples exist. Scott 2024 value $1100, Facit 2022 (most recent edition) value SEK 9000. It has now been almost 30 years since the time of issue and the existing examples have been widely distributed. Because most of the stamps only had F-VF or sometimes VF centering, it is challenging to a find such a nicely centered XF example. From the Margaret Morris collection. Beautiful and fresh!
