Iceland: Cancellations: Town - Single Ring - 1902-on
The 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.
34 [1902 3 aur Christian IX] Used with XF centering and proper AKUREYRI single-ring provincial cancellation. Almost full cancel but inverted (this cancellation style did not contain a year date). This issue is hard to find with full single-ring town cancellations. Excellent example. Though not a scarce stamp, examples this nice are seldom seen.

38 [1902 10 aur Christian IX] Used F-VF with complete, but sideways, AKUREYRI provincial single-ring cancellation. This 10 aur stamp is often collected with as many different town cancellations as possible -- quite a challenge!

37 [1902 6 aur Christian IX] Used with VF centering and proper, almost complete SEYDISFJORDUR single-ring provincial cancellation. Almost full cancel but sideways (this cancellation style did not contain a year date). This issue is hard to find with full single-ring town cancellations. Excellent example. Though not a very scarce stamp, examples this nice and this nicely canceled are seldom seen.
