Danish West Indies: Gallery: Select Stamps Scott #23-36
A selection of especially attractive and interesting seldom-offered items. All are available for approval viewing. Scott numbers have been used unless otherwise mentioned.
Scott #24 [1902 "2 CENTS 1902" Local Surcharge with small letters, Perf 12.75, Inverted Frame] BLOCK OF FOUR, Mint, very lightly hinged, with F-VF centering. The block is from sheet positions 2-3/12-13 and is identifiable as such by cliche varieties that only exist positions 2 and 13, per the Lasse Nielsen Bicolor handbook. The previous owner stated believed that the overprint was from Setting 2, but I have not tried to confirm that. As usual, there are many broken or deformed characters in the overprint, including three different styles of the numeral "1" in the date. The "2" (denomination) of the upper right stamp has a flat front of the "nose" that is quite distinct. Very fresh and attractive with brilliant colors. The break-up value for the four single stamps is $46!

Scott #28b INVERTED FRAME [1902 "8 CENTS 1902" BOLD (København) Surcharge on 10 cent Bicolor, Inverted Frame] Used with VF centering and neat, light, proper cancellation on the right side that is mostly face-free and does not cover any of the identifying characteristics. This is an extremely scarce stamp, especially in Used condition. This inverted frame stamp only comes from ONE position (51) in the sheet; with only 1100 sheets printed, originally only 1100 of this #28b existed. This remarkably well-centered example is certainly the nicest Used example that I have had in a very, very long time! This is a key stamp that is missing from most collections. The 2026 Scott value is $675 but again, nice examples are seldom seen! Accompanied by a Jay Smith certificate with lifetime (mine) guarantee.

36 [1905 50 bit Christian IX] Used, Fine+ centered, 4-BLOCK with sharp FREDERIKSTED 13 July 1910 cancellations. This stamp is quite scarce as a nice used block without any defects; I am not aware of any modern catalog that prices DWI used blocks, but this one would list high. Very attractive and very seldom offered.
