24 plate varieties "z, ø, and æ" [1896 5 aur Numeral, perforation 12.75] NH F-VF lower left corner margin 8-block containing three of the four AFA-listed plate varieties (there is a fifth listed variety, but I think that listing was in error). The block is positions 81-841/91-94 with the three varieties in positions 82-83-84. Variety "z" in sheet position 82 "Left frame line bends inward at top and bottom"; "ø" in sheet position 83 "Short right leg of A of ISLAND"; and "æ" in sheet position 84 "Cut off lower left corner, upper left corner dented on left side". The 15-year-old AFA Iceland Specialized listing values the three varieties at a total of DKK 1500 = US$270, plus the other five stamps sell for a total of about $70 in their respective centering. A very unusual block! ACTUAL item. |

25, Facit #25b + variety, AFA 7B.7y [1897 aur gray Numeral, Perforation 12.75, (September 1898; 7th printing of all 6 aur stamps; 2nd printing of this perforation), Gray to Light Gray] NEVER HINGED with XF centering. PLATE VARIETY AFA 7By (color spot and line before N of ISLAND, dent in right frameline). Wonderfully fresh -- this must be from a recently broken block. Well-centered, NH examples of this stamp (Scott #25 in general) are surprisingly hard to find. Wonderfully fresh with excellent centering, great color, perfect perforations, and post office fresh original gum. An exceptional example! [Facit 2022 value SEK 450 for the NH stamp with normal centering; AFA Specialized 2016 (most recent) DKK 800 for the NH variety!] ACTUAL item. |

PLATE VARIETY AFA 7Bx (white spot before P of POST, dent in right frameline near bottom, rounded frameline at bottom right, lower left corner area with several diagonal white cuts). Very fresh and attractive with great color and "perfect" perforations. NH examples of this stamp (Scott #25 in general) are surprisingly hard to find. An excellent example! [The Facit 2025 value is SEK 450 for the basic NH stamp with normal centering but no variety; the AFA Specialized 2016 (still the most recent edition as of July 2025) value is DKK 800 for the NH variety!] ACTUAL item. |
