668 [2016 Codfish] VF sheet of 6.
2016 Codfish. Engraving by Martin Mörck. [This Codfish stamp production method is unique and every stamp is unique: A piece of dried codfish skin (the yellow part in the image) was applied to the stamp and then printed in red by typography. The skin pattern is different on every stamp, thus every stamp is unique.] [246386]

1983 Nordic Costumes. 101 YELLOWISH GUM [1983 Nordic House souvenir sheet (costumes and flags)] Two types of paper/gum were utilized for printing this issue; they appear to have been printed / processed at different times, or in different batches, because the two types are also consistently cut to different sizes. I have not found any published information which states which, if either, type is scarcer, however, in my experience, THIS YELLOWISH GUM type is seen more frequently than the White Gum type (though DAKA GF10 assigns equal prices to them). DIFFERENCES: Under daylight, gum more yellowish; backside under UV light much duller; and consistently cut 120 mm wide (instead of 121 mm). Listed by DAKA GF10, however, I have never noticed any dealer offering specifically offering either type for sale! This is priced the same as the "normal" undifferentiated type I offer in the regular stamp listings. [If you do not know which type you have, but you would like to obtain the other type, AT THE SAME TIME AS ORDERING OTHER STAMPS you are welcome to send your example to me with instructions for me to return it along with the other type you need.]

2017 "The Seven Swans" Fairy Tale BLACKPRINT of Scott #688a souvenir sheet (containing both stamp designs). Imperforate, NH VF. This stamp issue is designed in a Chinese style by Li Yunzhong and engraved by Martin Mörck. (Some of the Scandinavian post offices have been doing a lot cooperative and training work with Chinese stamp artists and engravers.) Issued in a limited quantity and probably many sold to Chinese collectors. This has interest from Faroe collectors, Mörck collectors, China-related collectors, and collectors of Chinese art, etc.

2019 "Old Watermill" BLACKPRINT design of the 35 kr stamp of the set, Scott #???. These little-known artifacts of Faroe life were already in use in the late 1700s. They were entirely built in the Faroes, except the millstone had to be imported due to lack of the suitable type of rock in the Faroes. They were mostly very small -- this one shows the height of the building is not much more than a man. Imperforate, NH VF. Engraved by Martin Mörck. Only 1500 printed; they were included in the 2019 Year BOOK, but the post office stated that only 400 examples would be sold separately (i.e. not in the year book). I believe that many collectors missed this issue. In addition to being sought by collectors of Mörck engravings, it is also of thematic interest to a varied range of collectors (mills, falling water, architecture, traditional clothing, engineering, etc.).

65 Olive COLOR ERROR [1981 10 oyru Rune Stone] NH VF single in Yellowish Olive Green instead of the normal Gray Green. Our late friend and Faroe modern-issues expert Art Quarles, who had many personal contacts inside the Faroe post office, was "absolutely sure" that this color difference existed when the Faroe post office received their supply from the stamp printer and that it was not a color changeling. I last had a few examples of this error back in 2007 and all very quickly sold for $250 each. Recently I obtained a few more examples, but I now have only one example still available.

19 [1975 450 oyru Farm] "BROWN HILL" variety. This variety in which the hillside in the upper left corner is distinctly brownish has been well known since 1975 or 1976. Yet it has never been catalog listed whereas many lesser varieties have been listed. This variety is somewhat scarcer than the usual "green hill" stamps.
