These bargain-priced stamps are attractive, but many have described hidden flaws. You can save a tremendous amount of money when you add such stamps to your collection. Each stamp is one of a kind, so please let me know if I may substitute a different example (that looks as good or better, for the same cost) if the stamp you order has sold. If you have any doubts, all are available for approval viewing. If you are seeking stamps of this quality and price level from any of the Scandinavian countries, just send along your want list -- I will be happy to send bargains on approval. Scott numbers have been used unless otherwise stated.
10-18 [1945 "American Issue" without overprint] Used with VF to F-VF centering. Complete set, all with various parts of the "GRØLANDS POSTKONTOR / KØBENHAVN K" cancellation used at the Greenland office in København. This was a legitimate post office; while the cancel is often philatelically applied, one could mail letters and packages from Denmark to Greenland at this office and they would receive this postmark. Most of the canceled examples of this issue on the market bear cancellations from this office which were used all through the period of normal use. Used F-VF sets are normally $315 and Used VF normally $387.

20 INVERTED OVERPRINT [1945 5 øre "American Issue" with INVERTED overprint "DANMARK BEFRIET 5 MAJ 1945" (Denmark Liberated)] NEVER HINGED, F-VF centered, but missing upper left corner perforation tooth and on the backside it resulted in a tiny thin spot at that location. Has the expected "J H Stolow" backstamp (very light and tiny); the Stolow firm handled the printing of the overprints. Fresh and attractive example of a rare stamp -- only 400 printed!. For price reference purposes, NH VF would sell for about $1000 and F-VF for about $850; Hinged VF for about $650 and Hinged F-VF for about $525. The inverted overprints are seldom available as inexpensively as this example. Accompanied by a Jay Smith certificate with "lifetime guarantee".
27a [1945 2 kr American Issue with 1945 RED "wrong color" overprint, Eider Duck] NH with F-VF centering. Usual / expected small extra ink spots from overprinting; this is not a defect. Wonderfully fresh example.
