Iceland: Plate Blocks: Date Blocks 1975-1985 - Page 2
The engraved stamps from 1975-85 were apparently printed by the same printer as engraved French stamps and thus have the same avidly-collected corner margin date blocks. These date blocks are listed by the Facit Catalog, though no reference that I have seen lists the known dates. Where multiple dates are known to exist (the website listing includes all dates I have recorded), it is completely reasonable to think that some dates are much scarcer than others; some are probably quite scarce. Only one corner of the sheet bears the date. The only exception to the type of date blocks in the 1975-85 period is Scott #503 which appears to have had a different printer; it does have a date, but of a different style. I am always interested in buying date blocks. Date blocks are seldom offered. I often have more items in stock than are on the website; please email if you are seeking Icelandic blocks of any type.
This website listing of date blocks includes everything that I have recorded since I started keeping such records in 1990. Many of the listed dates have only been seen by me as single examples. If you have other dates, please send scans or photocopies so that I may add them to the listing.
