Scott #37 [1905 1 franc Ship in St. Thomas Harbor] Upper Left Corner Margin example, NEVER HINGED with XF centering and excellent perforations. An outstanding example. The corner margin adds to the appeal for some collectors, but it does not increase the price.

Scott #37 [1905 1 franc Ship in St. Thomas Harbor] NEVER HINGED with VF centering and excellent perforations. This example (from position 2 in the sheet) shows a small plate scratch line in the left margin. In DWI philately, such lines are called an "Engstrom lines" after the DWI collector and author who documented these lines on copper-plate engraved stamps. The lines add interest, but do not increase the price. Wonderful color and freshness.

37 [1905 1 franc Ship in St. Thomas Harbor] Used with Superb centering and neat, very light St. Thomas cancellation. Wonderful color and excellent perforations (the Harbor issue always has irregular perforations due to the worn perforating tool). Very attractive example. Though this is not a "scarce" stamp, quality this nice is seldom offered.

Scott #40a INVERTED FRAME [1905 "5 BIT 1905" Surcharge on 4 cent Bicolor with Clear Blue, Perf 12.75] Mint, lightly hinged, with F-VF centering. A very fresh and attractive example with great color and "perfect" perforations. This overprint exists on both of the Perforation 12.75 printings (with Greenish Blue VS with Clear Blue). The Greenish Blue printing only exists with an inverted frame in sheet position 51. The Clear Blue printing (this one) exists with the inverted frame in both position 51 and in the entire bottom row, positions 91-100. This stamp is from the bottom row, which can be detected by the slight fuzziness of the bottom frame line and the bottom of the oval. Despite the relatively modest value, this stamp is remarkably hard to find! An excellent example!

42 Lopsided T Variety, AFA #35x [1905 "5 BIT 1905" surcharge on 8 cent Arms] Top of "T" tilted downward toward left; thicker and longer on right side. Occurs in four positions in the sheet: 42, 47, 72, and 97 [which is strange because this suggests that the overprint plate was of 50 but DWI Mails states that the overprint plate was of 100]. Listed but unpriced in AFA and Unlisted by Facit. Seldom offered! Mint, lightly hinged, with XF centering.

Scott #43 [1908 5 Bit Frederik VIII] Printing 2, HORIZONTAL 3-STRIP, Used with VF centering and a neat 1916 ST. THOMAS cancellation and a U.S. wavy-lines machine cancellation. Used units larger than pairs are unusual.

Scott #43 [1908 5 Bit Frederik VIII] Used Horizontal Pair of Printing 2, with Average-Fine centering and almost Superb centered CHRISTIANSTED 17 January 191? cancellation. The year date is most likely 1913. Unusual PLATE VARIETY that is listed in the Frost Forlag (1981) DWI Specialized Catalog: "DA" connected on left stamp. Frost lists three connected "DA" varieties (large connection which is this one; less pronounced connection, and a connection at the crossbar of the "a"). Frost states that this version of the variety is from plate position 26 of Printing 2 sheets. Almost all the frame varieties on the DWI Frederik VIII and Christian X stamps exist on almost all the printings of all the stamps of the same denominations from both issues -- both issues used the same frame cliches. It would be a fun challenge to find each variety on all the printings of both stamps. This "DA connected" variety is very similar in nature and appearance to the AFA-listed "ND connected" variety; the AFA 2016 Specialized Catalog (most recent edition) value for that variety is DKK 400 (approx US$60 9/2025)! A scarce item that I have never before, in 52 years, seen offered!

Scott #43 [1908 5 Bit Frederik VIII] Used with Fine centering and very light cancellation. I believe that this is from Printing 1, but the color is borderline with one of the shades of Printing 2. AFA-listed PLATE VARIETY #36x with "ND" connected. It is listed in the Frost Forlag (1981) DWI Specialized Catalog (variety #10) as being from plate position 76 in the Printing 1 sheet and 61 in the Printing 2 sheet. Almost all the frame varieties on the DWI Frederik VIII and Christian X stamps exist on almost all the printings of all the stamps of the same denominations from both issues -- both issues used the same frame cliches. It would be a fun challenge to find each variety on all the printings of both stamps. The AFA 2016 Specialized Catalog (most recent edition) value for this variety is DKK 400 (approx US$60 9/2025)! A seldom-offered variety.

Scott #44 [1908 10 Bit Frederik VIII] Mint hinged, with XF centering, but small thin in hinge area. AFA-LISTED PLATE VARIETY #37z: "Dent in bottom frame line below left "0". Brilliant color and wonderfully fresh appearance. The three printings of this stamp can be hard to sort out, but based on the color shades and the whiteness of the paper, I believe this to be from Printing 1. The AFA 2016 Specialized Catalog (most recent edition) value for this variety, on the least costly printing, is DKK 120 (approx US$18 9/2025)! A seldom-offered variety.

51-58 [1915-16 5-50 bit Christian X] NH Average / Fine / F-VF / VF matched set of PLATE NUMBER BLOCKS with #11-D, except for the 30 bit with has plate number 50-O (11-D does not exist for the 30 bit). The 10 bit has a white spot variety in the upper left posthorn (looks like AFA variety 45y) on the lower right stamp (sheet position 100), but AFA states that the variety it lists is in sheet position 3. The 15 bit block is both remarkably well centered and 11-D is the scarcest of the three printing with a significant premium. The 30 bit is also very well centered and 50-O has more than twice the value as the other printing (50-D). Some of the others are also scarcer as 11-D. A very unusual set; these are seldom offered. AFA 2016 Specialized value DKK 5350!
