71 [1908 1 eyrir Two Kings, Crown Watermark, Perf 12.75] Mint, very lightly hinged, with Fine centering. Unlisted plate variety: "line in margin, upper right corner". AFA does list several similar types of varieties on other stamps of this set, but not this variety. It is quite easy to see; maybe it will receive a listing some day.

Numeral cancel 2 black Superb on Scott #76 VF but toned, with major plate variety (large break in left frame line) that is not listed by AFA. #2 in 1903-1911 period (Eyrarbakki) or #2 in 1913-1930 period and later possibly to 1964 (Svalbarðseyri). If the plate variety was AFA listed, would add about $35 to the price.

Numeral cancel 18 black VF on Scott #76 VF centered. #18 in 1903-1930 period (Seljaland). Though this postmark has a modest value in Facit it seems much harder to obtain. Until now, I have not recorded having an example of the #18 cancellation since I started keeping track around 2000.

80 [1907 25 aur Two Kings] Used with F-VF centering and neat corner cancellation. INVERTED WATERMARK. Though this inverted watermark does have a +200% premium in the catalogs, in my experience it is even much scarcer than that.

102 [1914 5 aur Two Kings, Crosses Watermark] NEVER HINGED, Fine. An identifiable variety position, with large white area in the upper right corner. A very attractive example. Scarce NH. This really should be listed in the AFA Specialized catalog, and if it were, it would have a DKK 3000 catalog value as NH, 50% more than the regular NH value. The price for a normal NH Fine stamp would be $195 (and $275 for NH F-VF). A great NH stamp at a great price.

102 [1914 5 aur Two Kings, Crosses Watermark] Mint VF, but without gum. A very attractive example with dark green color. An identifiable variety position, AFA Specialized #79s, with several clear diagonal cuts in the frame lines. Otherwise would be $129 as a normal gummed example, and the AFA Specialized 2016 value for the gummed variety is DKK 1200!

A very attractive example. This really should be listed in the AFA Specialized catalog, and if it were, it would have a DKK 2000 catalog value. The price for a normal Mint VF stamp would be $129, but this looks nicer than most.

103 [1918 6 aur Two Kings, Crosses Watermark] NH F-VF/F-VF+ upper left corner margin plate #93-H block of four. Unimportant tear in top selvage. This was the only plate number for the 6 aur with crosses watermark. A key early plate block; quite scarce, but especially so in such nice quality. Even NH single stamps of this one are hard to find.

103 [1918 6 aur Two Kings, Crosses Watermark, Perf 14 x 14.5] NH with Just-Fine centering. Unlisted (by AFA), but very obvious, plate variety: "very weak design inside top frame line". This really should be listed if it can be proved to be a constant variety. A normal NH Fine stamp would be $43 (and VF $84!).

Orlof 50 aur Overprint on Scott #104 (Facit #96) [10 aur Two Kings, crosses watermark] NH VF. This stamp had by far the lowest printing quantity according to Facit: 14,600, which is less than one-tenth of highest print quantity. As of 12/2014, in 41 years I have recorded having only seven mint (and no used) singles plus a plate block of four; however they seem often to be creased. Wonderful quality; very scarce!
