These bargain-priced stamps are attractive, but many have described 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.
Scott #O1a Ultramarine [1871 2 skilling Official] Used with F-VF centering, but has small faults (a couple rounded corner perforations, and only visible from the backside, a thin spot and a hard-to-see crease). An attractive example of the strong Ultramarine color. Without the quality problems, this centering would be $130!

Scott #O2 [1871 4 skilling Official Perf 14 x 13.5] Mint, no gum, with Fine centering, but with slight soiling at bottom (not a cancellation) and with some missing perforations. This stamp was likely placed on a cover, but was not canceled. An example of this centering, Mint with gum, but without any defects would be priced at $50. This example has its problems, but is price very low!

O4 [1871 4 skilling Official PERFORATION 12.5] Used with Fine centering and neat #56 [Ringkøbing] 3-ring numeral cancellation. Nice Carmine color, typical centering, and large margins on three sides, for this scarce stamp. Typical perforations for this line-perforated stamp (usually with messy perforations and always rougher on the top and bottom than on the sides). This is one of the scarcest Danish major-number stamps (only #21 is on more want lists). A sound example of a stamp that is missing from most collections, offered at a very reasonable price.

Scott #O9 Yellow Green, Facit #Tj9b AFA #TJ7a [1875 32 øre Official, Perforation 14 x 13.5] Used with F-VF++ centering and neat cancellation. Upper left corner perforation tooth rounded, but no other defects on this hard-to-find stamp. There is a space for this Yellow Green stamp in many European-made albums; the catalogs value this color a just over twice the value of the normal Green color. If not for the rounded corner tooth, this would be $60. A pretty example of a scarce stamp.

O20 [1923 5 øre Brown Official] Used with F-VF centering and neat, light cancellation, but with a thin spot. Though the cancellation is a type in use at the time, this example does not show a full date and thus cannot be proved to be a timely use (this stamp was used 11 September 1923 through 31 March 1924, only seven months). With properly dated cancellation this centering would be at least $25. Very attractive and very reasonably priced.
