Scott #O40 [Official 1920 3 aur Christian X] Mint, extremely lightly hinged, with Superb centering. Wonderfully fresh with large margins, bright color, and "perfect" perforations. The hinge mark is so light, the previous owner thought it was NH. This low-denomination stamp is remarkably scarce with such nice centering.

Scott #O44 [Official 1920 15 aur Christian X] NEVER HINGED with "perfect" SUPERB centering and large margins. Wonderfully fresh color, "perfect" original gum, and with "perfect" perforations. This may be a fairly common stamp in Mint Hinged condition, but it is very hard to find NH with such nice centering and appearance!

This stamp is always harder to find than the modest catalog value suggests, but it is remarkably hard to find NH with such nice centering and appearance!

O52 [1923 Official 20 aur overprint Christian X 10 aur red] NEVER HINGED, with F-VF+ centering. Very fresh, nicely centered, perfect perforations (scarce on this stamp), and pristine gum.

Scott #O56 [1930 10 aur Viking Ship in Calm Water, Official Overprint] NEVER HINGED with Superb centering. Wonderfully fresh with "perfect" perforations, bright color, and pristine gum. [Describing centering on the 1930 Parliament issue depends upon how you view the artist initials in the bottom margin, either as part of the whole design or outside the design. If part of the whole design, then this is Superb; if outside the design, then this is XF -- but arguably, how could this look any better?] An outstanding example of a stamp that has a modest catalog value, but is very hard to find in such nice quality.

Scott #O57 [1930 15 aur Parliament, Opening of the first Althing, Official Overprint] Used with F-VF+ centering. Wonderfully fresh with bright color, "perfect" perforations, and neat partial, correct type of REYKJAVIK town cancellation.

Scott #O59 [1930 25 aur Parliament, Carrying Driftwood Log, Official Overprint] Mint hinged with XF centering. Very attractive and fresh-looking example. While this stamp should not be any harder to find with nice centering than the others in the set, it is indeed surprisingly hard to find with such nice centering.

Scott #O61 [1930 35 aur Parliament, Woman and Falcons, Official Overprint] Used with F-VF centering. Wonderfully fresh with bright color, "perfect" perforations, and almost complete, correct type of the illustrated "þINGVELLIR / 930-1930" thousand-year cancellation. This cancellation device did not include an actual date, but when it was applied to a cover somewhere else on the cover a normal dated cancellation would also be struck. This stamp issue was only valid during 1930, thus with this cancellation type, the use was during 1930. A very nice example of a stamp of which it is hard to find nice, properly canceled examples.

If part of the whole design, then this is Superb, as in this example -- but arguably, how could this look any better?] An outstanding example of a stamp that has a modest catalog value, but is very hard to find in such nice quality.

Scott #O68 [1932 Official, 20 aur Christian X, Redrawn Portrait] NEVER HINGED with XF centering, almost perfectly centered. Wonderfully fresh and with extremely bright color. "Perfect" small-hole perforations and "pristine" gum. Definitely one of the nicest examples I have had in 52 years. This stamp is very scarce in NH condition and especially so well centered.
