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.

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.
