23 NORMAL FRAME [1900 4 aur Numeral, Perf 12.75] NEVER HINGED with VF centering. Wonderfully fresh and attractive, with bright colors, perfect perforations, post office fresh gum, and nice centering. Though listed in the AFA Specialized Catalog (2016 [in stock] or 1995 original edition or 1997 English translation), but not by Facit, the fact that there are inverted and normal frames of the Icelandic bi-colored Numeral stamps (4, 25, 50, and 100 aur) is not known by most collectors. Each sheet contained 51 normal frames and 49 inverted frames. For details, see this article with illustrations on my website. This is a wonderful example of "fun fact" kind of item that few people even know exists! Priced just as a basic NH stamp with this centering.

24 plate variety "x" [1896 5 aur Numeral, perforation 12.75] NH VF+ top margin single from sheet position 6 "Dent in upper frame line, cut off upper right corner, dent in lower frame". This was taken from a larger block, thus the position is confirmed, but the sheet margin watermark in the top selvage also confirms the position. AFA values this variety at 4 times the normal value. Nicely centered NH examples are hard to find.

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!

25 Dark Gray, Facit #25a [1897 6 aur Numeral, Perf 12.75, 1897 Printing] Used with F-VF centering and with neat, full, almost perfectly centered, proper AKUREYRI single-ring cancellation.

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!]

28 [20 aur Blue Numeral, Perf 12.5, 1891 Green-Blue printing] Mint F-VF+ AFA-listed plate variety: AFA # 14Bz "upper left corner cut off and white spot before I of ISLAND". The printing plate consisted of 25 cliches, thus this variety is found four times in the sheet, in positions 22, 27, 72, 77. AFA Specialized 1997 value DKK 600 = US$100 (8/2012) for mint hinged, but a plain Mint VF example now sells for $70! Wonderful example.

28a Ultramarine [1896 20 aur Numeral, Perf 12.75] Used F-VF, couple slightly shorter perf tips, with partial (ST)AVANGE(R) bridge type cancellation (applied on incoming ship mail likely posted at sea on an Icelandic fishing trawler). Date of cancel is unclear, but looks like 1903. Stavanger is unusual this early. Scarcer stamp color.

29 Clear Blue center, Facit #29a [1900 25 aur Numeral, Perforation 12.75] Mint with VF centering, but regummed and one perforation shorter at LL corner. AFA-listed late variety #21z "heavy wear to right edge of blue oval". AFA 2016 Specialized value for Mint Hinged OG is DKK 650 (US$105 4/2021). The 25 aur plate was made later than most of the other denominations and thus it has very few significant varieties (only two listed by AFA). This variety is very seldom offered; I have not had one in many years.
