Iceland: Cancellations: Town - Classic  
The early town (single ring with town name) cancellations of Iceland are remarkably difficult to obtain in nice condition. Beyond the largest communities, most of the cancellations are scarce to rare.

The stamps are cataloged by Scott numbers. All items may be viewed on approval; regular approval groups of Icelandic town cancellations (including later periods) are also available.

O9 [1895 50 aur Official, perforation 14 x 13.5] Used with Average-Fine centering, and with strong HRAUNGERDI provincial town corner cancellation. Great color, perfect perforations. The stamp centering is typical for the 50 aur. This smaller town cancel is quite unusual on the early Official stamps. Provenance: from the Roger A. Swanson collection, from of a page of six 50 aur stamps sold by Northland Auctions in 1995; subsequently in the Frederick H. Campbell collection, prior to my purchasing the group. Very pretty!

AFA-listed #7x Print 4 (DKK 800 [$120 10/2023] in the 2016 Specialized, most recent edition) plate variety: "White spot in front of P; white spot over O; diagonal cuts in lower left corner and frameline; dent in right frame line near bottom opposite AU".

10, Facit #11d, AFA 7.4 [1876 6 aur gray, blurred print Numeral, Perforation 14 x 13.5, Fourth Printing] Used with Fine+ centering and full, perfectly-centered, but inverted, fully dated 9 December 1894 REYKJAVIK bridge-type cancellation. An interesting feature of stamps from this printing is that when viewed under 10x magnification at an oblique angle to a point-light source, the ink has a silvery metallic sheen. Examples of the Numeral stamps are surprisingly difficult to find with fully (including year) dated cancellations because the more usual single-ring cancellations did not include a year date. In this case, the presence of the 1894 date is a nice because it means that this stamp cannot be from Print 5 which was in July 1895. A very attractive example with a nice cancellation.
