Jay Smith & Associates: Denmark: Cancellations: By Type

UPDATED 2026 July 21

Over the last few days, you may have encountered problems accessing our website. I am sorry for the problems. As I had announced, our website hosting company was migrating our website to new servers. We thought the migration was successful and I did not expect any problems, but the website hosting company had misconfigured the server running our website, causing significant disruptions to our website serving (but depending upon the load on the server). The website hosting company now believes that the problem has been corrected. I have tested for more than a day now and I have not encountered any problems.

However, if you are visiting our website for the first time since BEFORE July 14, it is possible you could INITIALLY encounter a problem because the website was moved to a new IP address. IF YOU ENCOUNTER ANY PROBLEMS VIEWING A PAGE (OR IMAGES), FIRST "reload / refresh" the web page by clicking / pressing the browser reload/refresh button WHILE HOLDING DOWN THE SHIFT KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD. If that does not immediately solve the problem, try again every few minutes. If the problem remains after 30 minutes, please let me know by email at js@JaySmith.com or by calling me at 336-376-9991. I am sorry for any inconvenience.

Denmark: Cancellations: By Type - Star: A-D

Scott numbers have been used unless otherwise indicated. Cancellations starting with the letter "Å", "Æ" and "Ø" are at the end of the alphabet. These listings are just a random tiny fraction of the thousands of Danish cancellations that I have in stock. If you are seeking specific numbers, towns, or types of cancellations, or cancels on specific stamps, please send your want list. All these items and much more are available for viewing on approval; please request approvals.

Star cancels are so named because they contain a star design in the center. (Later the stars were removed and also new cancels were made without the center star -- those are the "starless" type called "uds" for the Danish term "udslebne".) These types of postmarks were used at small places that did not have post offices, such as tiny railway stations or mailbag pick-up points, general stores on rural mail routes, etc. Almost by definition they were used at places with small populations and thus many are scarce. They have been popularly collected and cataloged for many years. The current primary reference is "Stjernestempler", available from me. The cancel numbers shown are from that catalog. I have a large stock of both star and starless (uds) cancellations and am happy to send approvals. I cannot even begin to list all that I have; this listing is just a random tiny fraction of what I have stock. If you are seeking specific cancellation types and/or on specific stamps, please send your want list.
