Denmark: Stamps: Scott Q8-14 -- Parcel Post -- Postfærge
Scott numbers have been given for these listings. If you would prefer to examine the stamps before purchasing, or you are any seeking stamps (or any condition or any quality) not listed here, please send your want list using your choice of Scott, Facit, or AFA numbers.
Unless there is a 6-digit item number in the left-most column, the images shown in this section are standard images of the issues from my image library; they are presented to show the designs of the stamp issues and not to show the specific individual stamps being offered. The centering of the stamps in the images is usually Superb or VF quality; again these are not images of the individual stamps being offered. Most early stamps had multiple printings, thus color shades vary greatly; the colors in the images are random printings/colors. If there is a 6-digit item number in the left-most column, the image is of the actual item being offered.
All the listed conditions and qualities were in stock at the moment this list was prepared and I endeavor to maintain them in stock and to keep this website updated. However, my stock changes daily and (to paraphrase) good stamps are hard to find. If you are willing to accept a different grade or quality if an item is temporarily out of stock, please let me know when ordering (add a comment at the conclusion of the shopping cart process) and please also let me know of any alternates you will consider. Furthermore, new stamps are being put in stock every day; if the quality and/or condition you are seeking is not listed, please send your want list.
This list surely includes a few errors; I will be grateful if you would inform me of any errors you see. Stamps "missing" from the list simply might not be included because they are not in stock or are singles which are normally only listed in full sets. Just the same if it seems like something obvious (and not a single from a set) is missing, please let me know. If you can offer for sale items that are not listed here, please do so; I especially need sources of recent used complete sets. Prices are subject to typographical error and change, but I will do my best to honor the listed prices to the extent of available stock.
TIP: These price list pages are in Scott number order. To most easily navigate these stamp price list pages, use the "drop down" menu located above this text (and at the bottom of every page). You can also hover over the numbered page links and read the name of the page in the bottom status bar of your browser.

Q8a [1922 50 øre DARK OLIVE GRAY Christian X with POSTFÆRGE (postal ferry) overprint] Mint, very moderately hinged, with XF centering, though the upper left corner perforation is rounded. Very attractive with fresh appearance, wonderful color, and otherwise excellent perforations. A scarce stamp that is missing from most collections. (Many examples offered on the market are misidentified and are actually the inexpensive color worth only a tenth as much). This would otherwise be $310!

Q8a [1922 50 øre DARK OLIVE GRAY Christian X with POSTFÆRGE (postal ferry) overprint] Mint, hinge remnant, with VF centering. Very attractive (the hinge remnant is not obtrusive) with fresh appearance, great color, and excellent perforations. A scarce stamp that is missing from most collections. (Many examples offered on the market are misidentified and are actually the inexpensive color worth only a tenth as much). A Mint lightly hinged VF example would be $285, thus the hinge remnant is reflected in the lower price.

Q8a [1922 50 øre DARK OLIVE GRAY Christian X with POSTFÆRGE (postal ferry) overprint] Mint, hinge remnant, with F-VF+ centering. Very attractive (the hinge remnant does not bend the stamp) with fresh appearance, great color, and excellent perforations. A scarce stamp that is missing from most collections. (Many examples offered on the market are misidentified and are actually the inexpensive color worth only a tenth as much). A Mint lightly hinged F-VF example would be $215. This example has nicer centering, thus the hinge remnant is reflected in the lower price.

Q8a [1922 50 øre DARK OLIVE GRAY Christian X with POSTFÆRGE (postal ferry) overprint] Used with Superb centering and neat, violet crown/posthorn cancellation typically found on the early issues of the postfærge overprints. An outstanding example with great color, contrasting colored postmark, perfect centering, huge margins, and great perforations. This stamp is seldom offered in such nice quality. In Used condition, this is tied with Scott #Q7 as the scarcest of the postfærge stamps.

Q9 Type I (narrow R in KR), Facit #PF7a, AFA #PF8 [1924 1 kr brown and blue Christian X with POSTFÆRGE (postal ferry) overprint] Used with XF-Superb centering and neat, violet, early-type, Crown and Posthorn postal ferry cancellation.

An outstanding example!

Q9 Type II (wide R in KR) [1924 1 kr Christian X with POSTFÆRGE (postal ferry) overprint] Used VF/F-VF centered top-margin 9-block with clear FANØ-ESBJERG ferry double-oval (narrow spacing) 7 MAR 1930 postmarks. Even though these stamps were used in quantity for heavy shipments, today it is quite hard to find blocks larger than four stamps. Individual stamps sell for $45 (VF) and $31.50 (F-VF). These nine stamps total approximately $340 as singles. An impressive block in great quality offered for less than the break-up value.

Q9 Type II (wide R in KR) [1924 1 kr Christian X with POSTFÆRGE (postal ferry) overprint] Appears to be Used, but could also pass for Mint No Gum. Fine centering with a very faint trace of black marks that may be a cancellation at the bottom in the area of the "KR". The stamp and overprint are completely genuine, but I do not know if it is actually canceled. For this centering, a Mint example with gum would sell for $105 (it is scarce) and a Used example with proper cancellation would sell for $22. With the unknown status of this example, it is priced much lower than the lowest of those prices. [Since it is priced below the lower Used value, I have placed it in the Used price column, but I do not know if it is actually Used.]

Wonderfully fresh and bright, perfect perforations, and post-office-fresh gum other than being so lightly hinged you will need a magnifying glass to find the hinge mark.

Q11 [1919 l kr brown engraved Christian X with POSTFÆRGE (postal ferry) overprint] Used with typical Average centering and neat, violet, double-circle ferry cancellation. Fresh with great color and perfect perforations. This stamp is usually found with this centering; I estimate that at least 50% of the printing was only Average or Fine centered. For comparison, if this example had F-VF centering it would be $165 and VF would be $220.

Q11 [1919 1 kr Brown Christian X with Postfærge (postal ferry) overprint] Used with F-VF+ centering, but light crease only visible from the back. The cancellation is correct for early period use, neat, light, violet double-ring "crown and posthorn". This stamp usually has terrible centering (typically it is only Average or Fine!) -- this example much, much nicer than usual! This scarce stamp is missing from most collections. This centering would otherwise be $109!
