328 [1951 50 øre Naval Officers Academy] (VF) solo use on 19 September 1951 cover (NOT a first day cover) to the U.S. Interestingly, the sender used a cacheted envelope intended for a first day cover for a King Frederik IX stamp issue. At first there seems to be no connection between the cachet and this stamp, HOWEVER, Frederik was educated at the Naval Officers Academy! The sender of this envelope was clever! Solo uses of this stamp are hard to find; most of the price is for the plain solo use aspect, not the cachet.

Scott 362 [1956 60 øre Nordic Swans (Norden)] Cacheted commemorative cover celebrating the 150th anniversary of Danish Postmen, with special pictorial cancellation picturing a ca.1806 postal carrier. Also on the occasion of a philatelic Jubilee Exposition. Addressed to the U.S.; very neat and clean. In addition to the "history of the post" aspect, this would be a nice item for a NORDEN common-design collection; 1956 was the first year of the Norden (Nordic postal cooperation organization) stamp issues.
