Denmark: Bargains: Newspaper Stamps: Scott #P1-P20
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.

P4 INVERTED WATERMARK [1907 10 øre Newspaper, Crown Watermark] Mint, lightly hinged, with centering that is just barely Fine (just clears the perforations). Very obvious inverted watermark. Despite the centering, this example is wonderfully fresh with great color and excellent perforations.

P7 [1907 68 øre Newspaper stamp, Crown Watermark] Mint with Fine centering, but has toned lower right corner perforation tooth. The gum appears to be disturbed original gum, but because of the degree of disturbance, I am pricing it as if it has no gum. A reasonable example of a stamp that is hard to find in Mint condition. This centering would otherwise be $89.

P19 [1915 41 øre Newspaper, Crosses Watermark] Mint with F-VF centering. A nice looking example, but under very close examination, there is some minor gum disturbance. I believe that this disturbance occurred during production; that the not-quite-dry sheets were stacked up too soon. It is only noticeable under 10x magnification. Great color and nice overall appearance. Nice Mint examples of this stamp are quite hard to find. Otherwise this centering would be $97.
