34 [1902 3 aur Christian IX] Mint VF+ with INVERTED WATERMARK. Bright and fresh appearance. Though the catalog value of the inverted watermark variety of this stamp is quite modest, it is seldom offered and especially not with such nice centering.

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.

35 variety, Facit #64v, AFA #36x [1902 4 aur Christian IX] NH VF-XF with the frame variety "AUP instead of AUR" from positions 95 in the sheet. This variety is the result of damage to the cliche, not because the engraver made a P instead of an R. However, any variety that changes the text of a stamp is of intense interest to collectors. This example is wonderfully fresh and bright. Facit 2020 value is SEK 1500 and AFA 2016 Specialized value is DKK 800. Seldom offered, in fact I have only had a couple examples of this variety in 46 years (and no others this nice!) which causes me to think the cliche damage probably occurred later in the printing process. I believe that this variety is significantly undervalued in the catalogs.

35 variety, AFA #36v [1902 4 aur Christian IX] Mint F-VF, lightly hinged with the frame variety "colored line in frame color between frame and portrait". Exists from positions 5, 8, 9, 20, 55, 58, 59, and 70, thus there are small differences between them: THIS EXAMPLE SHOWS A SHORT, THICK LINE ABOVE THE R of RD. Though this AFA-listed variety exists from several positions, is remarkably seldom found and is rarely offered for sale. Very fresh and attractive.

Exists from positions 5, 8, 9, 20, 55, 58, 59, and 70, thus there are small differences between them: THIS EXAMPLE SHOWS A VERY LONG THIN LINE ABOVE THE ENTIRE TEXT (more like the image in the AFA 1995/1997). Though this AFA-listed variety exists from several positions, is remarkably seldom found and is rarely offered for sale. Very fresh and attractive.

36 [1902 5 aur Christian IX] Used with XF centering and attractive, about 50% complete, violet BREIÐDA(ALSVIK) Type 2 (only type for this town) Crown and Posthorn cancellation. Facit C/P cancel #118 (2024 value SEK 400). Though this particular C/P cancel does not have a very high catalog value, this strike is remarkably nice and readable; it is especially nice to show the first letters of the town -- also, it is upright and on a well-centered stamp. An excellent example for this type of postmark! The stamp was issued 9 October 1902 and the use almost all (including this one) C/P cancellations ceased by summer of 1903, thus this cancellation on this stamp was only possible for about 8 months!

42 [1902 40 aur Christian IX] Used with Superb centering and substantially complete FÁSKRUÐSFJÖRÐUR (Type B1b) 29 August 1918 bridge-style cancellation. While this is not a "scarce" cancellation, it is seldom seen so complete on individual small-size stamps. Also because this cancel device started in use in 1906, it is quite unusual on the Christian IX stamps. The cancel strike is sideways, but this is the only way that the full town name and full date could possibly fit on the stamp! An outstanding example of stamp that can be quite hard to find in such nice quality and also very hard to find with nice small town cancellations.

44B [1904 5 kr Christian IX] Used with XF centering. Very fresh appearance with great color, clean white paper, and perfect perforations. Neat lower corner cancellation almost "face free". An additional interesting feature of this example, though it does not increase the price, is that the crown watermark is horizontally split (shifted so that the right and left halves are on each stamp); this is not unusual on lower denominations, but I have seen very few such examples of the 5 kronur stamp. The centering and cancellation are exceptional for this stamp (it is usually very poorly centered). One of the nicest looking Used examples I have had in several years. A great example of a key Icelandic stamp that is quite scarce in nice Used condition.

44B [1904 5 kr Christian IX] Used with Fine centering and small part of corner cancellation leaving the portrait "face free". Great color, perfect perforations, and excellent overall appearance. However, there is not enough of the cancellation present to guarantee that it is a proper cancellation, thus instead of pricing at the normal Used Fine price of $145, I have priced it at the lower Mint Hinged price. Still a very nice looking example.
