Denmark Scott #20 [16 skilling bicolor] Used Superb with very well centered #236 numeral cancellation used in Reykjavik, Iceland, before the use of Icelandic stamps. In 1998, DAKA listed the 16 skilling stamp with 236 cancellation at DKK 5500, however, this example is of superior quality and the DAKA price was more of a buying price than a selling price. This may be the nicest example of this cancellation on this stamp. Ex Roger Swanson. Accompanied by Lasse Nielsen photo certificate.

Iceland #17a [1882 20 aur Ultramarine, Perforation 14] Used F-VF centered example Danish 3-ring numeral cancellation. The number is not readable, but is two or three digit, making is much scarcer than the typical #1 cancel. Danish numeral cancellations are occasionally seen on previously uncanceled ship mail sent to Denmark, but not often on this stamp. With a normal Icelandic postmark, this F-VF stamp is $270!

175 [1932 75 aur Gulfoss Waterfall] Tollur-canceled (revenue cancellations) F-VF upper left corner margin 30-block, with just minor separation between two stamps. A stunning showpiece for either a Tollur/revenue collection or a Waterfall collection. [As singles would sell for $180 and is always in demand.]
