86 [1911 1 eyr Jon Sigurdsson] NH F-VF / Fine upper 20-block with full margins nicely showing the marginal letters watermark at top (reading correctly from the front side as was intended). Includes plate variety "dents in left frame near top" in position #1. Centering varies as usual, however, wonderfully fresh and a great item to illustrate the watermark. The break-up value is about $75, but this is simply too pretty to break up.

This variety is hard to find because it can be hard to see, but this example is as good as it gets! AFA value DKK 300 for the variety stamp (and 100 for the additional stamp). Very attractive and very seldom offered.

88 Group of four cancellation types [1911 4 aur Sigurdsson] Used group of four with VF centering, representing four different of the cancellation types found on this issue. Violet (!!!) numeral cancel, single-ring town cancel, bridge (narrow between the rings) town cancel, and bridge (wide between the rings) town cancel. None of these are complete, but the three town cancels -- all of which are smaller towns -- may be decipherable. Also, the stamps represent at least two shades.

89 Plate Variety [1911 6 aur Sigurdsson] Used VF+ with very neat, light (but correct type of) cancellation well away from the variety, with unlisted (in the AFA 2016 Specialized or any other catalog) plate variety: Large break in left frame opposite nose, with piece from the break out in the margin. A very distinct and clear type of constant variety. Because this is obviously major plate damage (and not just a piece of trash on the plate), it is by definition a constant variety. However, it is so obvious that it was probably repaired very quickly and thus few copies may exist (with the result that it has not come to the attention of the catalog editors). This is more obvious than any of the listed varieties on the Sigurdsson issue! A very special item that should become listed! Listed varieties that are nowhere near as obvious are listed at DKK 450!

This variety is a "matrix flaw" that appears four times in the final sheet, in positions 4, 61, 71, and 92. Other features, such as the shape of the "5" can probably further identify the four plate positions.

90 Rough Perforation Variety [1911 15 aur Sigurdsson] Used with XF-Superb centering and neat, light corner cancellation. This example has an unusual feature. The watermark is so pronounced (the paper is so thin in that area) that the printing of the design did not fully impress into the watermark area, thus you can see the faint outline of the watermark in the lower left quadrant of the stamp where the ink coverage is not quite complete. I have only previously seen a couple stamps (from any country) with such a feature!

91 PARTIAL DOUBLE PRINT [1911 25 aur Sigurdsson] Mint Fine+, with one shorter perforation. This example shows a very clear doubling, which is what is called a "kiss print" or "slide print" -- as the paper is coming into contact or leaving contact with the plate, it accidentally touches the plate a second time. This gives one the sense of a double impression, but it is not doubled over the whole stamp. This example shows strong doubling in the left margin and the "25". This type of variety is quite rare on Icelandic stamps (or Danish stamps; the same firm printed the stamps of both countries at the time). Very interesting and attractive.

This exact variety is not AFA-listed, but it could be a precursor stage to the listed variety AFA 69x (AFA value DKK 300) in which the corner is further rounded and the D is open on the right. Attractive and interesting.

Lower left sheet margin corner example (position 91) showing the sheet corner Posthorn Watermark, but more importantly with unlisted plate variety: "two large dents in left frame near top". This variety really should be listed by the AFA Specialized Catalog -- they do not get much more obvious than this! If it is to be listed, the AFA value would be around DKK 1400 (US$230 4/2021). A very nice stamp!

Orlof 5 kr Overprint on Scott #98 (Facit #120) [5 kr Frederik VIII] Mint, extremely lightly hinged, with XF centering. Wonderfully fresh and attractive with almost perfect centering, great color, and perfect perforations. This is perhaps the rarest of the Orlof overprints and is "rare" even with faults -- this just might be the nicest example any of us ever see! As of 12/2023, this is only the second example I have had (in any condition) in 50 years and the other example was in really terrible condition (but it still sold for $200). I believe this to be the rarest overprinted Orlof stamp.
