Iceland: Stamps: Scott 1-7: 1873 Skilling Issues  
Scott numbers have been given for these listings. If you would prefer to examine the stamps before purchasing, or you are any seeking stamps (or any condition or any quality) not listed here, please send your want list using your choice of Scott or Facit numbers.
Unless there is a 6-digit item number in the left-most column, the images shown in this section are standard images of the issues from my image library; they are presented to show the designs of the stamp issues and not to show the specific individual stamps being offered. The centering of the stamps in the images is usually Superb or VF quality; again these are not images of the individual stamps being offered. Most early stamps had multiple printings, thus color shades vary greatly; the colors in the images are random printings/colors. If there is a 6-digit item number in the left-most column, the image is of the actual item being offered.
All the listed conditions and qualities were in stock at the moment this list was prepared and I endeavor to maintain them in stock and to keep this website updated. However, my stock changes daily and (to paraphrase) good stamps are hard to find. If you are willing to accept a different grade or quality if an item is temporarily out of stock, please let me know when ordering (add a comment at the conclusion of the shopping cart process) and please also let me know of any alternates you will consider. Furthermore, new stamps are being put in stock every day; if the quality and/or condition you are seeking is not listed, please send your want list.
The publication of this list is a "first effort" in quite a long time. It surely includes a few errors; I will be grateful if you would inform me of any errors. Stamps "missing" from the list simply might not be included because they are not in stock or are singles which are normally only listed in full sets. Just the same if it seems like something obvious (and not a single from a set) is missing, please let me know. If you can offer for sale items that are not listed here, please do so; I especially need sources of pre-1940 mint (hinged or never hinged) stamps and recent used complete sets. Prices are subject to typographical error and change, but I will do my best to honor the listed prices to the extent of available stock.

1 Mint, no gum, with VF centering, but with hidden faults. A completely genuine and unaltered stamp, but with a tiny natural inclusion (speck of wood pulp), light crease, and two very tiny thin spots. This stamp is more often than not found without gum. The Facit 2010 value for faultless a stamp with gum, but with typical centering (which this is much, much better), is SEK 9500 = $1325. This example actually looks much better than most that come along.

It bears both a pen cancel (unusual) and a small portion of what appears to be a correct serif-style cancel. It is a real #3 used in the proper time period. Facit 2006 value for Used Fine is SEK 10,000 = $1400!

4 [1873 16 skilling Perf 14 x 13.5] Mint with VF+ centering, but some condition problems. The paper is slightly aged and there is a single pulled perf at bottom. There is a slight gum bend only visible from the reverse, but that is typical for the issue. The good news is that this extremely scarce stamp has wonderful centering, color, perforations (except for the pulled one), and full original gum barely lightly hinged! This is the rarest of the 1873 normal postage issues, with a 2010 Facit value of SEK 13,000 (with gum) = $1800 [9/10]. This stamp would easily and quickly sell for well over full catalog value if it did not have the two mentioned problems. As it is, it still looks better than the vast majority of examples I have seen. To demonstrate that it does look nice, it is also shown on a white background as it might on your album page.

7 [1873 16 skilling, Perf 12.5] Used with F-VF+ centering and a completely proper and genuine REYKJAVIK cancellation, but with a thin. Normal (actually a little better than normal) rough perforations for this stamp. Wonderful lemon yellow color; very fresh appearance. 2010 Facit value is SEK 5500 = $770 [9/10] and would otherwise sell for around $700 with such nice appearance.
