Iceland: Stamps: Scott 34-44B: 1902-1905 Christian IX  
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.
See additional examples of Icelandic Stamps in the following Sections:
    New Arrivals.
   Specialized Stamps many pages starting here (Varieties, Blocks, Cancellations, and other interesting items).
   "Gallery" offering scarcer stamps such as Skllings, Prir overprints, and scarce I Gildi overprints.
   Several "Bargains" pages offering inexpensive examples of stamps, usually with hidden defects.
   Stamps with Tollur (customs revenue) cancellations.
TIP: These price list pages are in Scott number order. To most easily navigate these stamp price list pages, use the "drop down" menu located above this text (and at the bottom of every page). You can also hover over the numbered page links and read the name of the page in the bottom status bar of your browser.

34 [1902 3 aur Christian IX] Used with XF centering and proper AKUREYRI single-ring provincial cancellation. Almost full cancel but inverted (this cancellation style did not contain a year date). This issue is hard to find with full single-ring town cancellations. Excellent example. Though not a scarce stamp, examples this nice are seldom seen.

42 [1902 40 aur Christian IX] Used with Superb centering and substantially complete FÁSKRUÐSFJÖRÐUR (Type B1b) 29 August 1918 bridge-style cancellation. While this is not a "scarce" cancellation, it is seldom seen so complete on individual small-size stamps. Also because this cancel device started in use in 1906, it is quite unusual on the Christian IX stamps. The cancel strike is sideways, but this is the only way that the full town name and full date could possibly fit on the stamp! An outstanding example of stamp that can be quite hard to find in such nice quality and also very hard to find with nice small town cancellations.

44B [1904 5 kr Christian IX] Used with XF centering. Very fresh appearance with great color, clean white paper, and perfect perforations. Neat lower corner cancellation almost "face free". An additional interesting feature of this example, though it does not increase the price, is that the crown watermark is horizontally split (shifted so that the right and left halves are on each stamp); this is not unusual on lower denominations, but I have seen very few such examples of the 5 kronur stamp. The centering and cancellation are exceptional for this stamp (it is usually very poorly centered). One of the nicest looking Used examples I have had in several years. A great example of a key Icelandic stamp that is quite scarce in nice Used condition.

44B [1904 5 kr Christian IX] Used with Fine centering and small part of corner cancellation leaving the portrait "face free". Great color, perfect perforations, and excellent overall appearance. However, there is not enough of the cancellation present to guarantee that it is a proper cancellation, thus instead of pricing at the normal Used Fine price of $145, I have priced it at the lower Mint Hinged price. Still a very nice looking example.

44B [1904 5 kr Christian IX] Used with VF centering, however with worn appearance and color somewhat faded. While I think that this stamp may have been genuinely used on a high-value (registered, insured, or parcel) letter leaving the country, the cancellation either confuses the issue or makes the stamp much more rare. The cancellation is a type (with "9-4 E" hours indicator) that was not used in Iceland in this era. It appears to be a Danish postmark with a "K." at the bottom (for the "København K" post office). That is typical type of Danish cancellation found on Icelandic "fishing boat mail" - mail that was either mailed at sea, or was accepted at the dock in Iceland right before leaving port, and was handed over to the Danish post office upon arrival at a port in Denmark. What makes this example especially interesting in that regard is that a Danish cancellation on this high denomination stamp is "quite rare". However, without more research, I cannot vouch for the cancellation. If it were not worn and faded, and if it had a certificate, it would be valued at multiple times the normal Used value.

44B [1904 5 kr Christian IX] Used with F-VF centering, but upper right corner perforation tooth slightly clipped (it is so minor and in the area of the cancellation that most people would not notice it). Also, small blue spot on reverse (does NOT show through), probably from a very old owners mark. Excellent overall appearance and a great price! Otherwise this centering would be $215.
