Faroe: EJDE star cancellation, GF10 #05.01 on Denmark Scott #I1 [1923 10 øre LATE FEE stamp with "GEBYR / GEBYR" Overprint on Postage Due Stamp] Used VF with faint Faroe EJDE star cancellation, GF10 #05.01 with a catalog value of DKK 100 on a single stamp, back in 2017. However, Late Fee stamps are "very scarce" used in the Faroes and examples canceled other than in Thorshavn are "extremely scarce", especially this first Late Fee issue. It is very difficult to read the cancellation on this stamp, but it is clearly a star cancellation, with space only for four letters, the first and last letters are readable: "E....E". There were only two Danish star cancellations that had four letters starting and ending with E: EJDE in the Faroes and ESPE (near Ringe, Denmark). However, the ESPE was only used 1890-1908 and thus could not exist on this stamp. The EJDE canceler in the Faroes was used 1903-1929; this stamp was issued in 1923, thus EJDE is the only possibility. Despite the modest catalog value (on a normal stamp) and the quality of the cancellation strike, this is a "rare" item -- however it is priced extremely low due to the quality of the strike. ACTUAL item. |
