214 [1930 15 øre red Christian X 60th Birthday] Upper right PLATE BLOCK "No 389 I". NEVER HINGED with Superb centering. Separated vertical perforations between the lower right stamp and the selvage, but not visible as such when mounted in the album. Plate blocks of this attractive issue are seldom available. Priced at about the total value of the Superb NH singles (this is a scarcer stamp in NH condition). Wonderfully fresh.

214 [1930 15 øre red Christian X 60th Birthday] Lower left PLATE BLOCK "No 389 I". NEVER HINGED with Superb centering. While this has not been hinged, there are a couple very small gum disturbance spots in the selvage and one tiny such spot on the lower left stamp, thus I count that stamp as hinged. Strong perforations and wonderfully fresh appearance. Plate blocks of this attractive issue are seldom available. Priced at about the total value of the Superb NH 3x singles and one as hinged (this is a scarcer stamp in NH condition).

223d, 229b, 238Al Set [1937 Dybbøl Mill set of panes, see Scott #B6-8] Mint (lower stamps NH) VF/XF set of three 4-blocks (i.e. the booklet panes without the mounting tabs; this is the way they are shown in many albums). Extremely lightly hinged on the top two stamps only. 223d, the green 5 øre block, contains Scott #223a, the scarce grayish-green stamp; this is the only source of that stamp -- this example of 223a is NH XF. The brown 10 øre block contains the AFA Type IA / Facit Type II of Scott #229, the 10 øre brown Wavy-Line issue; a scarcer stamp -- this example is XF. The red 15 øre block contains Facit #227a, the "Fine pearls in crown", which is a scarce stamp in its own right -- this example is NH VF. While the 5 øre block is in great demand for the single Wavy-Line #223a stamp, the 15 øre block is actually much less often seen and the 10 øre block is greatly under-rated. Just those three stamps, not including the 9 semi-postal stamps, would sell individually for a total of $160 in this quality. The set is offered for just the price of those three stamps!

Boom #3.19, Facit #H11, AFA #2kr-4 [1937 Dybbøl Mill] NH VF complete booklet in wonderful, fresh quality. The cover has never been bent/creased (there are the usual couple minor dents from the staples of other booklets in the stack; this is expected). This booklet contains panes of Scott #B6-8, with accompanying one-each per pane 223a (two 223d panes), 229 (one 229b pane), and 238A Small Pearls (one 238Al pane). This is the only source for Scott #223a (the Gray Green 5 øre Numeral stamp). Just the in-demand two #223a and the one #238 Small Pearls stamps have a total actual selling price of $175! The 2021 AFA value for the booklet is DKK 1700 = about US$270 (12/2021). This booklets is often "well handled" but this example is very fresh. The panes in this example are all VF or better. [Images of the covers are of this specific example, but the images the of panes shown on website are generic panes, NOT from this particular example.]

Boom #3.19, Facit #H11, AFA #2kr-4 [1937 Dybbøl Mill] NH VF complete booklet in excellent quality. The cover has been slightly creased at the staple by somebody who opened the cover to look at the panes (however, this does not reduce the primary intrinsic value, which comes from the panes). This booklet contains panes of Scott #B6-8, with accompanying one-each per pane 223a (two 223d panes), 229 (one 229b pane), and 238A Small Pearls (one 238Al pane).

Boom #3.19, Facit #H11, AFA #2kr-4 [1937 Dybbøl Mill] NH VF complete booklet in excellent quality. The cover has NOT been creased at the staple, however, there is a surface scuff at the upper right corner of the front cover. (However, this does not reduce the primary intrinsic value, which comes from the panes -- I can remove and sell the panes for more than this price!). This booklet contains panes of Scott #B6-8, with accompanying one-each per pane 223a (two 223d panes), 229 (one 229b pane), and 238A Small Pearls (one 238Al pane).

228 Facit/AFA Type I, Facit #110a, AFA #202a [1933 10 øre orange Wavy-Lines Numeral, Type I] Used with VF centering and neat, partial HJORDKÆR bridge-style cancellation (a very small village from I cannot recall having a cancellation). An excellent example of this scarce major type showing the defining characteristics. This stamp has a place in most European-made Danish albums, but it is missing from (or misidentified in) the vast majority of collections. Very pretty example.

This stamp is one of only two (the other is the 30 øre orange) of the first engraving type that were issued only on the German Paper. Mint blocks of the German Paper stamps are scarce. This stamp is the key value of the set and the key value of the time period. Four Mint Hinged singles would sell for $336!

243 Reddish Violet [1934 5 kr Christian X] Used 4-BLOCK with XF-Superb centering and neat, centrally struck town cancellation. Since these high-denomination stamps were mostly used on parcel cards and registered letters (which were treated roughly), intact undamaged blocks are quite hard to find, especially of this color.

The 2023 AFA value for the most common version of this booklet is DKK 3500 = US$525 [1/23]. The booklets of this issue are often "well handled" but this example is extremely nice!

268 Facit/AFA Type I, Danish Paper (Gray under UV); Facit #117a, AFA #262aBb [1940 6 øre Surcharge on 8 øre Wavy-Line Numeral Type I] NEVER HINGED with XF centering. The underlying stamp was printed in Type I (this example) and Type II (common, not this example). The Type I underlying stamps were printed on German Paper and Danish Paper. The German Paper has grayish paper, dark gum, and ink that is light green under UV light -- this overprint was never applied to the German Paper stamps. The Danish Paper stamps have whiter paper and light-colored gum, but were printed with both the ink that is light green under UV light (scarcer) and this example which was printed with ink that is gray under UV light. All the Type I overprinted stamps are scarce. This scarce stamp has a place in most European-made Danish albums, but it is missing from (or misidentified in) the vast majority of collections. An outstanding example.

This scarce stamp has (as a single) a place in most European-made Danish albums, but it is missing from (or misidentified in) the vast majority of collections. Most blocks of this scarce stamp were broken up long ago; this is the first time in 50 years that I have been able to offer a block! An outstanding block that would be a key item in a collection of the Engraved Wavy-Line Numeral stamps. NH XF singles sell for $79 each; this block is offered for just a little less than four singles!

306a variety, Facit #329bv, DOUBLED DESIGNERS NAME [1949 15 øre green Frederik IX, Type III in all catalogs (hollow lines in coat)] NH VF horizontal pair with the variety stamp on the right side. The "VIGGO BANG del." (the name of the stamp designer) is doubled. The philatelic term is "re-entry" when on an engraved stamp -- when the plate was made from the master die, this area was accidentally impressed twice. This variety comes from position 55 in every second sheet. Despite being 1 our of every 200 stamps printed, this variety is rarely offered; it has been many years since I have been able to offer a Mint NH (or Hinged) example. It is listed by Facit and by SAVA (the Danish plate variety catalog), but very strangely it is not listed (yet) in the AFA Specialized -- even though it is a very obvious and interesting variety.
