O2a IMPERFORATE Facit TJ2v1 [1873 8 skilling lilac Official, Imperforate] Mint, no gum, with large margins and Superb appearance. This imperforate has a watermark (which distinguishes it from being a proof); it was issued with gum, but this example is without gum. Huge margins and strong color (for this stamp), however, there is a curious horizontal line in the bottom third -- mostly only visible under 10x magnification -- that is either a paper inclusion, a removed pen mark (this stamp is not known used), or a repaired paper break. As a dealer, I have to assume the worst, but it is sure a nice looking example of a very scarce stamp! Facit 2020 value SEK 5000!

O4, Facit #TJ4a [1882 3 aur Official, perforation 14 x 13.5] First Printing: Dull Orange-Yellow, Dark Brown under UV light, Thin Paper. Mint F-VF centered, with very nice original gum (with-gum examples are scarce). The paper is so thin that the watermark is fully visible from the front of the stamp! As the 2020 Facit value of SEK 1200 indicates, this printing is quite scarce. Very attractive and wonderfully fresh.

O4, Facit #TJ4a [1882 3 aur Official, perforation 14 x 13.5] First Printing: Orange-Yellow, Dark Brown under UV light, Thin Paper. With AFA Specialized 1997 plate variety #3x "thickening of frame line above 3 of 3 AUR". Mint Fine with original gum (with gum is scarce). As the 2013 Facit value of SEK 1100 = $175 [5/13] for this printing without plate variety indicates, this printing is quite scarce. In AFA, the variety adds 40% value to the common printing, thus this printing is around $250 with the variety. Very attractive.

O4, Facit #TJ4a [1882 3 aur Official, perforation 14 x 13.5, First Printing: Dull Orange-Yellow under daylight and Dark Brown under long-wave UV light, Thin Paper] Used with Superb centering and neat, light, correct corner cancellation. Perfect perforations and nice color. PLATE VARIETY: The top frameline has a large break about one-third from the left side. This variety is not shown in the handbook by Regeling, thus the plate could have been damaged and quickly repaired or the break could have appeared very late in the first printing (and repaired before the second printing), thus not known to Regeling. Facit 2022 value for normal quality examples of the first printing is SEK 1500! That does not take into account the variety; though this variety is not listed by AFA, it is more prominent than most that are listed and those have a value premium of about 65%! Very attractive and wonderfully fresh.

The "string of pearls under ISLAND" variety listed by AFA (double the normal used price). Couple blunted perfs, but remarkably attractive with cancel well away from the variety.

O8, Facit #TJ8b [1876 20 aur Official, perforation 14 x 13.5] Second (1881) Printing: Bright Yellow Green, Blurred Print, Thin White Paper. This is not the darker color of the first printing and not the yellower color and thicker paper of the third printing, but it is unusual in the brightness of its color, blurred printing, and white paper. Used with VF centering and almost perfect REYKJAVIK sans-serif (both town and date) cancellation. Because of the thin paper, this printing is scarce without defects; it is also scarce well centered and with nice cancellation. Very attractive in an unusual color shade. Facit 2017 value for normal quality is SEK 800. A wonderful example!

O8, Facit #TJ8b [1876 20 aur Official, perforation 14 x 13.5] Second (1881) Printing: Dark Green, Clear Print, Thin Paper. Used F-VF with unusually attractive single-ring REYKJAVIK cancellation of type D2 (Facit 2015 SEK 1000 premium value) -- this is a remarkably nice strike of this postmark. This printing is scarce both without defects and with nice cancellation. While this is not perfectly centered, it has been a very long time since I last saw such an attractive example of this stamp. Facit 2015 value for normal quality is SEK 800 plus SEK 1000 for the cancellation! A wonderful example!

O8, Facit #TJ8c [1876 20 aur Official, perforation 14 x 13.5] Third (1891) Printing: Light(er) Yellow Green, Medium-thick Paper. Used with F-VF centering and attractive (KOTST)RÖND Crown and Posthorn cancellation. Though this particular C/P cancel does not have a high catalog value, I have had very few of them over the years. The official stamps are generally quite scarce with C/P cancels. Very pretty!

O9 [1895 50 aur Official, perforation 14 x 13.5] Used with Average-Fine centering, and with strong HRAUNGERDI provincial town corner cancellation. Great color, perfect perforations. The stamp centering is typical for the 50 aur. This smaller town cancel is quite unusual on the early Official stamps. Provenance: from the Roger A. Swanson collection, from of a page of six 50 aur stamps sold by Northland Auctions in 1995; subsequently in the Frederick H. Campbell collection, prior to my purchasing the group. Very pretty!

O9 [1895 50 aur Official, perforation 14 x 13.5] Used with Fine centering and with bold "(FRA) ISLAND" DANISH INCOMING SHIP MAIL CANCELLATION. Very attractive, but with expertly repaired and reperforated top margin. The stamp centering, clearing the perforations, is better than usual for the 50 aur. While this type of cancellation is commonly seen on regular Icelandic stamps of this era, Danish incoming ship mail cancellations are rare on Icelandic Official stamps. Early Official mail leaving the country is extremely rare; Official stamps were likely only accepted on mail going as far as Denmark. I cannot recall having, in the last 48 years, any examples of an Official stamp this early bearing such a cancellation. Provenance: from the Roger A. Swanson collection, from of a page of six 50 aur stamps sold by Northland Auctions in 1995; subsequently in the Frederick H. Campbell collection, prior to my purchasing the group. The scarcity of this cancellation on this stamp is demonstrated by a) that somebody would so expertly repair such a stamp and b) a high-level collector and prominent international exhibitor such as Swanson would include it in his collection.
