Danish West Indies: Bargains: Stamps Scott #J1-8 Postage Dues
These bargain-priced stamps are attractive, but most have hidden flaws. You can save a tremendous amount of money when you add such stamps to your collection. Each stamp is one of a kind, so please let me know if I may substitute a different example (that looks as good or better, for the same cost) if the stamp you order has sold. If you have any doubts, all are available for approval viewing. If you are seeking stamps of this quality and price level from any of the Scandinavian countries, just send along your want list -- I will be happy to send bargains on approval. Scott numbers have been used unless otherwise stated.

J7 [1905 30 bit Postage Due] (Mint) Uncanceled / Unused with VF+ centering. Either Mint no gum or Used without cancellation. A large percentage of these postage due stamps were used on envelopes containing incoming shipping documents (posted from ships in the harbor to local merchants) and those envelopes were very often not canceled. The stamps are perfectly fine, but cannot really be called Mint or Used. I price such no-gum DWI postage due stamps at a fraction of the (lower) Mint value. If Hint Hinged with gum this centering would be $14 and if Used with proper cancellations it would be $25. Very fresh and attractive.
