Q1, Facit #P4IC2 [1915 1 øre, Perforation 11.5, OFFICIALLY REPERFORATED in 1918] Used VF but with moderate thin and tiny corner crease. Officially reperforated at right -- this printing was first made with imperforate sheet margins; 225 sheets had those margins officially reperforated to make them look more like other stamps. Only 675 of each side originally existed -- probably fewer than 300 of this right position remain today. Wonderful quality rarely seen on these officially reperforated issues. This is about as nice looking as these officially reperforated issues get, but at a very low price. Otherwise would be $200.

Scott #Q1a, Facit #P1, AFA #1, Daka #1, Wowern #1 [1905 1 øre Pakke-Porto Perforation 12.25] Used with XF centering, but with some blunted perforation tips. The cancellation on this stamp is one that I do not recognize and that I cannot find in the literature; it may or may not be genuinely applied. It has the appearance of being circular or a mostly-circular oval shape, potentially with some features in reverse (white on black). It recalls the appearance of "government office handstamps" and/or wax letter seal stamps. Such a cancellation is theoretically possible; if it is genuine it would be very rare. I cannot render an opinion on the genuineness of the cancellation. Regardless, the overall appearance is nice and the price is very low for this scarce stamp! Scott 2025 value is $890 Used and $660 Mint; Facit 2024 value is SEK 9000 Used and SEK 6000 Mint. As a starting point, I have priced the stamp based on the lower of those values, adjusted for the quality of the perforations, etc.

Scott #Q1a, Facit #P1, AFA #1, Daka #1, Wowern #1 [1905 1 øre Pakke-Porto Perforation 12.25] Used with Superb centering, but with a couple shorter perforations and a thin spot at lower left. The cancellation is a wonderful, PERFECTLY CENTERED, violet, crown over 3 lines, "STYRELESEN / AF / KOLONIERE I GRØNLAN(D)" strike ("The Administration for the Colonies in Greenland"). It appears that the violet postmark ink ran slightly when the stamp was soaked, but the overall appearance is wonderful. The price is very low for this scarce stamp! Scott 2025 value is $890; Facit 2024 value is SEK 9000 Used! If not for the thin spot, etc., this example, with such a perfectly centered and 99% complete cancellation would sell for more than full catalog value.

The cancellation is very nice and virtually complete "crossed swords" strike of the violet, crown over 1 line, mixed-case "(A)dminisrationen for Kolonierne I Grønlan(d)" strike ("Administration for the Colonies in Greenland").

Vertical creases and banding are quite typical and "natural" in the paper on this printing of the 5 øre stamp. Wowern listed plate variety "Cg": "Extra curl on tip of left-most wave" from sheet position 25. Beautiful example with light, but completely proper black oval cancellation. Otherwise would be $150 (without consideration of the plate variety) for this centering.

[5 øre Pakke-Porto, 1918 Printing I, Light Red Brown, Medium to Thick Paper, Perforation 11.5] Used with VF centering and JUMBO MARGINS, with a light, but completely correct, oval black cancellation. This example, with 0.08 mm thick paper, is from sheet position 1, with the Wowern "Ce" variety: cut in top frame line near left corner. (Printings II and III are on very thin paper and often have darker color.) The 5 øre stamp, regardless of printing, is very scarce in such nice quality. To put that into perspective, this was the nicest Used example of the 5 øre stamp from a collection of about 25 examples!

Scott #Q3a Plate Variety, Facit #P2IIB, AFA#2A1, Daka-Wowern #4b Cj [5 øre Pakke-Porto, Perforation 12.25, Printing II, 1910 Light Red Brown] Used with Superb centering and neat "crossed swords" strike of the violet, crown over 1 line, mixed-case "Administrationen for Kolonierne I Grønland" ("Administration for the Colonies in Greenland") cancellation. This stamp is from the 1910 second printing of the Perf 12.25 5 øre, which was in light red-brown, and which had imperforate sheet margins -- thus natural straight edges. This example, from position 22 on the bottom row of the sheet and has Wowern Plate Variety #Cj "color spot inside left frame line at center". Only 375 sheets of this printing (with the imperforate margins and not officially reperforated) originally existed, thus only 375 examples of this stamp with this plate variety stamp originally existed! Surely rather few examples remain extant today and many of those are not in good quality. This example is outstanding! The Facit 2024 value for the ordinary stamp (ignoring any additional value of the variety), in ordinary condition, is SEK 6500! This quality is exceptional!

Scott #Q3a Plate Variety, Facit #P2IIBv, AFA#2A1, Daka-Wowern #4b Cb [5 øre Pakke-Porto, Perforation 12.25, Printing II, 1910 Light Red Brown] Used with F-VF centering and three types of cancellations: 1) Blue crayon parcel marking; 2) "Crossed swords" strike of the violet, crown over 1 line, mixed-case "Administrationen for Kolonierne I Grønla(nd)" ("Administration for the Colonies in Greenland"); 3) Violet-blue single-line "Kolonien Egedes(minde); it is hard to read, but that colony name is the only possibility. This last cancellation is most interesting because a) the color transitions from violet to blue (different colors had accidentally been put on the stamp pad); b) it looks like it has a underline or frameline below it (or is the frame of the device); c) the text is with-serif (!!!) and not italic; d) if there is a crown above the text that belongs to this postmark, it is not visible; and e) the Wowern GF1 (1988; last edition) potentially listed but did not illustrate (which meant it was very rare) such a cancel but stated that it was in black and that it had a crown above it. This is only the second or third time in 51 years that I have found an example of a cancellation which I was positive was genuine, but which Wowern either did not know about or did not illustrate (because he did not have one to illustrate). In addition to the rarity of the cancellation, the significance of this Egedesminde cancellation is that this confirms scarce Greenlandic village use to Denmark (rather than for a package sent from Denmark to Greenland)! This stamp is from the 1910 second printing of the Perf 12.25 5 øre, which was in light red-brown, and which had imperforate sheet margins -- thus natural straight edges. This example, from position 24 on the bottom row of the sheet and "bears" the well-known and sought after "bear heading ball" (i.e. a soccer / football term) major plate variety (Wowern variety Cb). Only 375 sheets of this printing (with the imperforate margins and not officially reperforated) originally existed, thus only 375 examples of this stamp with the "bear heading ball" variety originally existed! Surely rather few examples remain extant today and many of those are not in very good quality. This example is very nice! The Facit 2024 value for the variety stamp (ignoring any additional value of the rare cancellation) is SEK 7000!

Scott #Q4a, Facit #P3IIB, AFA#3A1, Daka-Wowern #5b [10 øre Pakke-Porto, Perforation 12.25, Printing II, 1910 Blue] Used ON SMALL PIECE OF PARCEL CARD with XF centering. On the reverse of the piece is a fairly modern "MØLLER BPP" expertizing handstamp from acknowledged expert Carl Aage Møller. This stamp is from the 1910 second printing of the Perf 12.25 10 øre, which was in a lighter, more greenish blue color and is on whiter paper. By deduction (it is a bottom sheet margin example with a natural straight edge and does not have the plate varieties that occur in the other two positions that could have this margin) this example is from position 23 of the sheet. Only 500 sheets (12,500 stamps total) originally existed from this printing and of those only 1500 examples originally existed with this bottom margin straight edge -- certainly far fewer still exist today! It seems that the majority of the extant examples have small quality problems, thus the quality of this example is unusual and outstanding! Full and almost perfectly centered strike of the violet, double-oval "[crown] / STYRELSEN AF / KOLONIERNE I GRØNLAND" ("The Administration of the Colonies in Greenland") cancellation.

This stamp is from the 1905 first printing of the Perf 12.25 10 øre, which was in a distinctive dark ultramarine-blue on very thick yellowish paper. This example, is from either position 19 or 21 of the sheet (Wowern was accidentally not clear which) and shows BOTH the "center of top frame line curved upward" AND "drop in left-most wave" varieties. Both of these varieties also exist independently in two other positions, but in this one position they are both present (Wowern variety Dg).
