Denmark: Test Stamps: Early Issues  
Test Stamps (also called Dummy Stamps in the U.S.) are created by stamp printers and post offices to test printing and production processes and other machines. While a few have had extensive philatelic distribution, most were never intended to be known to collectors and are very scarce. New discoveries continue to be made. Denmark has made use of several types and designs of test stamps; some of these are shown in the AFA Specialized Catalog at the start of the 1933 steel-engraved period.

All items are available for viewing on approval. I have a constantly changing stock of Danish and all Scandinavian essays, proofs, reprints, specimens, and test stamps. Most such items sell before they get to the website or price lists. What are you seeking?

View REPRESENTATIVE Image		 1932 Helligånds Church design used to test the first Danish steel-engraving printing press. Recorded by AFA in Yellow Green, Dark Green, and Red (I have never seen the latter). I have also recorded at least two different engraving types, (stronger vs weaker lines in the sky) which may represent different stages in the engraving or may be completely different dies. AFA Specialized 2008 lists the lowest priced at DKK 2500 = US$425 (12/08), but they are so rarely seen that this value (unchanged for many years) may be much too low. Yellow Green with strong engraving lines in the sky. NH VF. Very scarce and beautiful!
