Iceland: Bargains: Bargain Stamps - Scott #O40-O71 1920-1936 Officials: King Christian X, Parliament / Allthing, and Overprints
These bargain-priced stamps are attractive, but most have 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.

O63 [1930 50 aur Opening of First Althing (Parliament) in 930, Official Overprint] Mint hinged with F-VF+ centering, but with small faults. A reasonable-looking and inexpensive example of a key stamp that is surprisingly hard to find without quality problems. Otherwise would be $165.

O64 [1930 1 kr Map of Iceland, Official Overprint] Mint with F-VF centering, but expertly regummed (it looks NH and the previous owner thought it was OG NH). A reasonable-looking and inexpensive example of a key stamp that is surprisingly hard to find without quality problems. Otherwise would be $149 as Mint OG Hinged (and $395 as OG NH).

O66 [1930 "þjónustumerki" Official overprint on 5 kroner Parliament (Woman Spinning Yarn)] Used with VF centering and neat corner cancellation (correct type of cancellation in this period), but with tiny thin speck that most people would probably not notice. Very bright and attractive example. Otherwise would be $420!
