Scott 170-175, Facit #194-199: 1931-1932 Gulfoss (Golden Falls) Waterfall Information:
A fact unknown to most collectors is that the Iceland 1931-1932 "Gullfoss" [Golden Waterfall] lowest three denominations (5, 20, and 35 aur) exist in FOUR DIFFERENT PERFORATION TYPES. (The 60, 65, and 75 aur stamps each only exist in one perforation type, the Facit C4 Line Perforation type.) Additionally, the same three low-denomination stamps ALSO EXIST FROM COIL ROLLS, each in one OR two of the aforementioned possible perforation types. These are all listed by the Facit Classic Catalog, but most collectors and dealers have not paid attention to them. It should also be mentioned that collectors of the Tollur Revenue / Customs Cancellations should look for all four Perforation Types (EXCEPT for the C4 type on the 5 aur and 20 aur which were only used for coil stamps) with Tollur Cancellations.
The Facit designations of the PERFORATION TYPES are:
C1: Comb Perforation 14 x 13.75 with Irregular Corner Teeth on the same corners (see image in Facit). Only 5, 20, 35 aur sheet stamps.
C2: Comb Perforation 14 x 13.75 with Perfect Corner Teeth. Only 5, 20, 35 aur sheet AND coil stamps.
C3: Comb Perforation 14 x 13.5 with Perfect Corner Teeth. Only 5, 20, 35 aur sheet stamps.
C4: Line Perforation 13.75 x 13.75 with Highly Irregular Corner Teeth, different on all four corners. Used on all six denominations, however, on the 5 and 20 aur stamps, the C4 perforation ONLY exists on coil stamps.
The Facit listings for COIL STAMPS are:
5 aur Coil exists with C2 and C4 perforation types (C2 also exists on sheet stamps; C4 only exists on coils).
20 aur Coil exists with C2 and C4 perforation types (C2 also exists on sheet stamps; C4 only exists on coils).
35 aur Coil exists with C2 perforation type (also exists on sheet stamps).
The Facit Classic 2024 Catalog states, with my added commentary: The coil rolls of 500 stamps were produced by CUTTING *OR* TEARING *HORIZONTAL* rows from the sheets and attaching each 10-strip to the next by using left or right stamp margins affixed by the stamps own gum. This means that the coils are "endwise", with the stamps coming out of the vending machine parallel to the narrow dimension and cut by the vending machine across the narrow dimension (which is cutting by the vending machine on the left and/or right sides of the stamp viewed with the stamp text upright. When dispensed from a coil dispensing machine, that means that the vending machine cut the stamp on the stamps left and/or right sides. The "cutting or tearing" (to make the coil rolls) also means, if torn, that the coils may not look like coils, unless they were actually dispensed from a machine. Facit states that the 35 aur coil was only sold from post office counters and thus will probably only have torn (not cut) perforations on the left and right sides. Facit states that "small" quantities of the 5 aur and "maybe" the 20 aur were also sold from post office counters, and thus, if so, coils may exist with only torn perforations on the left and right sides. (Postal clerks could possibly also have cut the stamps with scissors from the rolls??) Facit points out that examples of the three C2 Perforation Type coil stamps may be indistinguishable from sheet stamps if they were torn (not cut) from the sheets AND if the stamps were sold at the post office counter (not dispensed from a machine).
Perforation Type and Coil Identification Tips:
1) Be aware of which Perforation Type can exist on which stamps.
2) Use any of the 60, 65, 75 aur stamps as examples of the Line Perforation.
3) Any 5 aur or 20 aur with Perforation Type 4 (Line Perforation) are coil stamps, even if they are not cut.
4) Understand that not all coil stamps will have cut perforations, but that when cut, the cutting on different sides has different meaning.
If you are seeking any of the Perforation Types or the Coil Stamps and they are not listed here, please send your want list; I may have them in stock.

145 [1925 10 aur Reykjavik scene] Used XF with XF strike of Danish "KØBENHAVN / Omk 9" 18 February 1927 cancellation. Danish cancellations on Icelandic stamps of this era are not uncommon (due to the large amount of letters mailed at sea aboard fishing boats that arrived in Denmark). However examples are scarce when they are so well struck that they show the entire cancellation, including the specific local branch that canceled the item, as this one does. An outstanding example!

170 COIL, Facit #194C4R Light Greenish-tinged Gray Blurred Printing; Perf 13.75 x 13.75 Line, Cut top/bot, Cut sides (vended). [1935 5 aur Gullfoss Waterfall] Used VF example showing straight-cuts at top and bottom (from making the coil strips) and straight cuts on the sides (from dispensing from a coil vending machine). Very light cancellation. An exceptionally nice example. As of 8/2022, I have only recorded coils in this color as having cut tops and bottoms (from making the rolls) and cut sides (from a vending machine). [The coils, perforations differences, and color / paper differences of the Gulfoss stamps are not well known. They are scarce and many were discarded over the years by collectors who thought they were just defective (trimmed) stamps. Generally, the Gulfoss stamps had up to four perforation types: C1 and C2 are 14 x 13.75 two types of comb, C3 is 14 x 13.5 comb, and C4 is 13.75 x 13.75 line perf. As a comparison / measuring tool, the 60, 65, and 75 denominations only exist in C4 (13.75 x 13.75 line perf); in some cases, line up those up against the perfs of other stamps, rather than using a gauge. There are various further color shades (sometimes also with tell-tale difference in impression clarity) and paper color differences that are not listed in the catalogs. Coil rolls of 500 stamps were made by gluing together (using the trimmed side margin of one sheet to attach to the back of the next sheet) sheets of stamps at the sides (vertical edges) of the stamps and then either tearing or cutting the strips apart along the top and bottom margins. The tearing vs cutting seems to be (?) consistently applied depending upon which batch (color shade) of stamps, etc. Stamps were both dispensed from vending machines (thus have cut perforation tips at the sides) or torn off rolls by postal clerks (thus have torn perforation tips at the sides); I am not sure if vended strips were possible (instead of just singles), resulting in a mix of cut and torn sides.] Per Facit, the 5 aur COILS exist with C2 and C4 perforations, with the C4 having at least two color shades (per JSA). Sort out those C2 and C4 perfs by matching with the top and bottom of the 60, 65, and 75 denominations (if NOT a match to top and bottom to the 60, 65, and 75, then you have a C2 perf in this case). The 5 aur C2 coils seem to be much scarcer than Facit suggests; as of 8/2022 I have not definitively recorded any examples, but I may have had them in the past and did not know it. Facit states that entire printing of C4 was made into coils, however I have recorded multiple examples of each of two colors of the 5 aur with C4 perforations that have been made into coils, thus there were at least two C4 printings (and thus I cannot be 100% sure that no 5 aur sheet examples exist with C4 perforations).

Scott #170 COIL, Facit #194C4R Dark Gray Crisp Printing; Perf 13.75 x 13.75 LINE, Cut top - Torn Bottom, Torn Sides (sold at postal counter) -- scarce!. [1931 (1935 Printing) 5 aur Gullfoss Waterfall] Used VF example showing cut perfs at top and torn perfs at bottom (from making the coil strips) -- which suggests that this was from the bottom row of the sheet with the bottom sheet margin removed by hand -- and torn on the sides (from being sold at a postal counter, NOT from a machine, torn off the roll by a postal clerk). Neat (REY)KJAVIK January 1939 machine cancellation. An unusually nice example. As of 3/2026 this combination of cut/torn, and torn sides, is the only such example I have recorded having. Prior to this, as of 8/2022, I had only recorded coils in this color as having torn tops and bottoms (from making the rolls by tearing instead of cutting) and cut sides (from a vending machine).

The Facit Classic 2024 value for the most common color of the C4 coil is SEK 250, but this example is much, much nicer than usually seen.

The C1 Perforation Type is a comb perforation, but because of the way that the comb repeated its one-row punching, the upper left corner perforation is usually thin and pointed (see image in Facit).

Singles of the 35 aur coil are not uncommon; they were dispensed from the machines as singles thus pair or larger units (with or without splices) are quite uncommon. However, any USED spliced examples are "rare" because the splice would normally have fallen off when soaked. This example seems to have been carefully steamed off (much gum remains) paper and thus the splice survived. (If only the collector had left it on the cover...) Very fresh and attractive with a very light cancellation. This is the only USED, SPLICED off-cover example I can recall having in 46 years (and extremely few either mint splices or on-cover spliced examples).

Greidslumerki Facit #G2 [1932 75 aur Gulfoss waterfall postage stamp, Scott #175, with Greidslumerki (Greiðslumerki) 10 aur invoice / payment tax overprint] Used with VF centering, with neat manuscript cancellation, on small piece of either a bank check or a bill of exchange (vexel). Though that type of document is common bearing documentary revenue stamps, I have only had a couple pieces from one (and no complete documents) with any of the Greidslumerki stamps. Seldom offered and unknown to many collectors. [Only two postage stamps were overprinted for this purpose, #174 and #175.] An excellent example.

Greidslumerki Facit #G2 [1932 75 aur Gulfoss waterfall postage stamp, Scott #175, with Greidslumerki (Greiðslumerki) 10 aur invoice / payment tax overprint] Used with VF centering, with neat manuscript cancellation, and small corner of a postal cancellation, on a small piece of postal money order or cash-on-delivery card AND with part of a Danish-printing (engraved) Greidslumerki stamp on the reverse. The tax payment was required on "both ends" of the transaction, whenever a payment of money occurred, thus two stamps were required. Not only are uses of this overprinted stamp quite scarce on a postal item, but it is extremely scarce showing both stamps (even if one is partial) and even more special in that it shows that both stamps were in use simultaneously, though at different post offices. The stamp on the back was cut in half when the front stamp was clipped out of the card by the post office for kiloware (after the required period that these cards had to be retained). To the best of my recollection, I have had only one other such example in 49 years (and never any complete cards). Seldom offered stamp that is unknown to many collectors. [Only two postage stamps were overprinted for this purpose, #174 and #175.] An outstanding example.
