98, AFA #98x PLATE VARIETY [1918 7 øre "orange to yellow" Christian X] Used with VF-XF centering and 1919 cancellation. While on the yellowish side of the spectrum, this is not the scarce yellow printing. AFA-listed plate variety, AFA #98x: "E of ØRE with white line connecting center stroke and lower right corner". 2016 (most recent) AFA Specialized value DKK 250. An attractive example with the postmark clear of the variety.

98 LIGHT YELLOW [1918 7 øre "orange to yellow" Christian X] Used with VF-XF centering and fully dated 25 October 1919 cancellation. (The "6-7..." in the cancel refers to 6-7 time block; the AM or PM indicator is not visible on this example.) Up to and including in the 1981-1982 AFA Specialized Catalog, this color was listed as AFA #98a and both Mint and Used examples were priced at approximately TEN TIMES the value of the normal range of orange colors. After that 1981-82, the listing was consolidated and #98a was dropped. However, this color does exist; it is not just a faded ink color. There is a space for this yellow color in many European-made albums. A very nice example of a scarce stamp, with a fully dated cancellation!

98 PALE YELLOW-ORANGE [1918 7 øre "orange to yellow" Christian X] Used with XF centering and faint 1919 cancellation (that appears to be 22 January 1919, but I cannot be positive). Up to and including in the 1981-1982 AFA Specialized Catalog, the Light Yellow color was listed as AFA #98a and both Mint and Used examples were priced at approximately TEN TIMES the value of the normal range of orange colors. After that 1981-82, the listing was consolidated and #98a was dropped. Most collectors, never having actually seen the Light Yellow color, would likely consider this to be the Yellow color previously listed by AFA. This is a very reasonable substitute; regardless, this Pale Orange Yellow color is seldom offered. A very nice example of a scarce stamp!

98 PALE YELLOW-ORANGE [1918 7 øre "orange to yellow" Christian X] Used with VF centering and light, face-free cancellation. Up to and including in the 1981-1982 AFA Specialized Catalog, the Light Yellow color was listed as AFA #98a and both Mint and Used examples were priced at approximately TEN TIMES the value of the normal range of orange colors. After that 1981-82, the listing was consolidated and #98a was dropped. Most collectors, never having actually seen the Light Yellow color, would likely consider this to be the Yellow color previously listed by AFA. This is a very reasonable substitute; regardless, this Pale Orange Yellow color is seldom offered. A very nice example of a scarce stamp!

98 PALE YELLOW-ORANGE [1918 7 øre "orange to yellow" Christian X] Used with VF centering and neat cancellation, but one shorter perforation tooth. Up to and including in the 1981-1982 AFA Specialized Catalog, the Light Yellow color was listed as AFA #98a and both Mint and Used examples were priced at approximately TEN TIMES the value of the normal range of orange colors. After that 1981-82, the listing was consolidated and #98a was dropped. Most collectors, never having actually seen the Light Yellow color, would likely consider this to be the Yellow color previously listed by AFA. This is a very reasonable substitute; regardless, this Pale Orange Yellow color is seldom offered. A pretty example of a scarce stamp!

AFA Coil #1a [1919 7+3 øre VERTICAL] Used Average pair with the scarce PEARL GRAY 3 øre. Neatly canceled. The 3 øre Pearl Gray stamp alone would sell for about $100 with this centering; it is rare to see an example of either the single stamp or the pair with such a low price.

99 [1920 8 øre gray Christian X] BLOCK OF FOUR, Used with F-VF centering, with crisp and attractive, well-centered 27 January 1921 "KJØBENHAVN / 9," single-ring cancellation. Because this stamp was issued specifically for the local post card rate, it was quite unusual for it to be used in multiples (at least not until at least several years later -- this block was used during the initial rate period). Canceled blocks of the King Christian X issue are seldom this attractive. The AFA 2017 (most recent edition) 4-Block Catalog lists this stamp in a canceled 4-block at DKK 250, however that is little more than four singles and it does not take into account when it was used; an early example, such as this one, is much scarcer. An exceptional example!

AFA Specialized 2016 value is DKK 650 ($100) per each stamp and DKK 3200 ($480) for this plate number block. Few examples of these scarce early plate blocks are still exist intact.

115 [1919 35 øre yellow and black Christian X] NEVER HINGED 4-BLOCK with F-VF/Fine+ centering, wonderfully fresh and bright. Blocks have become much harder to find as too many have been broken up. Priced only at the value of the four singles.

116, Facit #150a, AFA #105 [1918 40 øre lilac and black Christian X] NH VF/F-VF upper left plate block #129-S. This block very clearly shows that the three-sided perforation comb was one stamp high and open-ended at the bottom -- a feature not usually so obvious. AFA Specialized 2016 value is DKK 400 ($60) per each stamp and DKK 2200 ($330) for this plate number block. Very attractive. Few examples of these scarce early plate blocks are still exist intact.

AFA Specialized 2016 value is DKK 1400 ($210) per each stamp and DKK 7500 ($1125) for this plate number block. Very attractive. Few examples of these scarce early plate blocks are still exist intact. This one is extremely scarce and is priced hardly more than the break-up value as NH singles.

AFA Specialized 2016 value is DKK 550 ($82) per each stamp and DKK 2800 ($420) for this plate number block. Few examples of these scarce early plate blocks are still exist intact. Priced at only the break-up value of the four singles.

127 Used F-VF/VF 9-BLOCK with HADERSLEV 8 September 1922 postmarks. AFA 2009 Block Catalog value is DKK 225 = $38 for a simple 4-block; this is much, much scarcer than two four blocks! Very attractive.

128 Type II (wide R, long lines) [1922 1 kroner blue and brown Christian X, 1927 type] Mint, lightly hinged, with VF centering. Type II is Facit #161b, AFA #131 Type II. [Many people have difficulty sorting out the Type I and Type II, however there is a simple trick: There are three lines to the right of the R of KR; sometimes the top line looks more like a dot. In Type I, the bottom line extends to the left only under the lower right point of the R. In Type II, the bottom line extends all the way to the left to be under the left vertical edge of the right leg of the R.] Great color and wonderful freshness.

128 Type II (wide R, long lines) [1922 1 kroner blue and brown Christian X, 1927 type] Mint with F-VF+ centering, but with extremely minor, tiny gum soak on a couple perfs on right side near top (most people would not notice even under magnification). Type II is Facit #161b, AFA #131 Type II. [Many people have difficulty sorting out the Type I and Type II, however there is a simple trick: There are three lines to the right of the R of KR; sometimes the top line looks more like a dot.

134 Dull Violet, AFA 110x [1920 5 kroner violet Christian X] Mint XF-Superb centered, very lightly hinged, with AFA-listed plate variety 110x: "wreath damaged in lower right quadrant, above the right 5", only from position 54 in the plate; AFA 2016 Specialized value DKK 800 for hinged with normal centering. This is the only AFA-listed plate variety for this stamp issue. It may look like a smudge in the image, but it is a very definite damage to the printing plate. This variety is very seldom offered and I have never in 46 years been able to offer an example this nice! Even normal examples of this stamp are scarce this well centered!

134 Deep Red Violet, AFA 110b [1920 5 kroner deep red violet Christian X] Mint with VF-XF centering, very lightly hinged. For the 5 kr stamp, AFA lists three colors: Violet in shades, Red Violet, and the very scarce Deep Red Violet (this stamp). Facit only lists two colors: Violet and this very scarce Deep Red Violet. Well centered examples are scarce; AFA 2016 Specialized value is DKK 3000 (US$500) for Mint Hinged examples with normal centering.

134 Deep Red Violet, AFA 110b [1920 5 kroner deep red violet Christian X] Used with Fine centering and lighter than usual parcel cancel. Because these high-value stamps were mostly used for parcel mail, they were often damaged and usually very heavily canceled. For the 5 kr stamp, AFA lists three colors: Violet in shades, Red Violet, and the very scarce Deep Red Violet (this stamp). Facit only lists two colors: Violet and this very scarce Deep Red Violet. Well centered examples are scarce; AFA 2016 Specialized value is DKK 600 for Used examples with normal centering.
