135 [1915 5 Kr Post Office Building, Crosses Watermark] Used with VF+ centering (scarce on this stamp) and neat, well-centered, and fully dated 18 September 1916 "KØBENHAVN K" cancellation. The cancel has a star below the city name; I do not recall previously seeing that feature. The stamp has an AFA-listed PLATE VARIETY #81z "seagull (white spot) to the center left of the left 5" from position 10 in the sheet.. AFA 2016 Specialized value DKK 3400 = US$545 (12/2018). A handsome example of the stamp, made even nicer by an attractive postmark, and with a scarce plate variety.

135 [1915 5 kr Post Office, Perforation 14 x 14.5, Watermark Crosses] Used with XF centering and remarkably light, neat corner cancellation ("RAN...") dated 14 February 1919. The town name is probably Randers; cancellations other than København are much scarcer. It is quite unusual to find such a neatly and lightly canceled example, especially with the full date showing, and especially on a well-centered stamp. Brilliant color and fresh, bright paper. An outstanding example of a stamp that is seldom offered this nice.

137 [1915 "80 ØRE" Surcharge on 8 øre Official] Mint moderately hinged with Fine centering. Fresh and attractive but because the centering is only Fine, this is priced very low (if this was VF centered, it would be $47.50).

156, AFA 112x, Facit #194v [1920 10 øre red Kronborg Castle] Used with F-VF centering, with couple blunted perforations. An excellent example -- cancellation is clear of the variety -- of the well-known "N of DANMARK filled in (white)" variety. This stamp is from plate position 89 in only part of the printing; based on the high catalog value it must be from only a very small part of the printing before it was discovered and repaired. AFA 2016 (most recent edition) Specialized Catalog value is DKK 1400 and Facit 2024 value is SEK 1500. This variety is on many want lists.

157, AFA 113x, Facit #196v1 [1920 20 øre Sønderborg Castle] Used with F-VF centering; though the centering is technically F-VF, the stamp looks VF. Lightly canceled, well away from the well-known "missing pearl in 0 of 1920" variety. This stamp is on many want lists; such attractive examples are hard to find.

161 YELLOW [1921 8 on 7 øre surcharged Christian X] Used with XF centering and neat cancellation. The underlying stamp was listed in YELLOW by the AFA catalog up to and including in the 1981-1982 AFA Specialized Catalog edition. This color (of the unoverprinted stamp) was listed as AFA #98a and (unoverprinted) as AFA 118a; both Mint and Used examples of both versions were priced at approximately TEN TIMES the value of the normal range of orange colors. After that 1981-82 edition, the listings were consolidated and AFA #98a and #118a were dropped. For the unoverprinted stamp, there is a space for this yellow color in many European-made albums, but I am not sure about albums with spaces for the overprinted stamp. The plate reference book by Knud Juul states that stamps from all 10 plates of the unoverprinted stamp were overprinted, but that no records were kept of the quantities from each plate. Juul did not state which colors/shades came from which printings/plates. Based on the delivery dates of the unoverprinted stamps from the plates and my observation of the cancellation dates on unoverprinted stamps, the unoverprinted YELLOW stamps most likely came from Print III (Plate #121-H) and/or perhaps Print IV (Plate #122-C). The cancellation on this stamps shows a final "3" for the year date (surely 1923). This is one of the nicest looking YELLOW examples of the overprinted stamps that I have had in 50 years!
