Iceland: Stamps: Scott 45-68: 1902-1903 I Gildi Overprints
Scott numbers have been given for these listings. If you would prefer to examine the stamps before purchasing, or you are any seeking stamps (or any condition or any quality) not listed here, please send your want list using your choice of Scott or Facit numbers.
Unless there is a 6-digit item number in the left-most column, the images shown in this section are standard images of the issues from my image library; they are presented to show the designs of the stamp issues and not to show the specific individual stamps being offered. The centering of the stamps in the images is usually Superb or VF quality; again these are not images of the individual stamps being offered. Most early stamps had multiple printings, thus color shades vary greatly; the colors in the images are random printings/colors. If there is a 6-digit item number in the left-most column, the image is of the actual item being offered.
All the listed conditions and qualities were in stock at the moment this list was prepared and I endeavor to maintain them in stock and to keep this website updated. However, my stock changes daily and (to paraphrase) good stamps are hard to find. If you are willing to accept a different grade or quality if an item is temporarily out of stock, please let me know when ordering (add a comment at the conclusion of the shopping cart process) and please also let me know of any alternates you will consider. Furthermore, new stamps are being put in stock every day; if the quality and/or condition you are seeking is not listed, please send your want list.
The publication of this list is a "first effort" in quite a long time. It surely includes a few errors; I will be grateful if you would inform me of any errors. Stamps "missing" from the list simply might not be included because they are not in stock or are singles which are normally only listed in full sets. Just the same if it seems like something obvious (and not a single from a set) is missing, please let me know. If you can offer for sale items that are not listed here, please do so; I especially need sources of pre-1940 mint (hinged or never hinged) stamps and recent used complete sets. Prices are subject to typographical error and change, but I will do my best to honor the listed prices to the extent of available stock.
TIP: These price list pages are in Scott number order. To most easily navigate these stamp price list pages, use the "drop down" menu located above this text (and at the bottom of every page). You can also hover over the numbered page links and read the name of the page in the bottom status bar of your browser.

51 [1902 "I GILDI" black overprint on 4 aur Numeral, Perforation 12.75] Used with F-VF+ centering and neat, partial (S)KAGAS(TRÖND) CROWN AND POSTHORN CANCELLATION. There is only one possible postmark for the letters showing in this cancellation. This postmark on the least costly stamp is listed by Facit 2024 at SEK 400. The stamp itself with an ordinary postmark would sell for $54. Crown and Posthorn cancellations are unusual on the I GILDI stamps. Very pretty stamp.

Scott 45-68: 1902-1903 I Gildi Overprints continued ...
55 [1902 16 aur Perf 12.75 with Black I GILDI overprint] NEVER HINGED, but with Average centering and rounded lower right corner. Just for comparison, #55 with slightly better (Fine) centering and without a perforation issue, would be $55 for NH Fine or $21 for Mint Hinged Fine. This example is priced very low.

60, Facit #45c [1902 5 aur Perf 14 x 13.5 with Red I GILDI overprint] Mint, lightly hinged, with F-VF+ centering. The overprint is from Setting V and is position 11 on the overprint plate (of 50) which correctly corresponds with the underlying sheet position possibilities of 11 or 61 (based on the cliche features of the underlying stamp). This overprint exists on all three printings / colors of the underlying stamp -- this is Facit #45c, the Light Green. The stamp is in outstanding quality for this issue, with wonderfully fresh color and with perfect perforations. One perforation tooth toward the left, at top and bottom, is very thin -- this is a natural feature of the perforation tool in that column of stamps of the sheet. AIEP member and preeminent I Gildi expert Ellis Glatt viewed a high resolution image of the stamp in October 2024 and commented that the overprint is genuine in his opinion. This stamp is accompanied by a Jay Smith color image certificate with a "lifetime guarantee" from Jay Smith (details of the guarantee are available upon request). The Scott 2025 value is $2100 and the Facit 2024 value is SEK 19,000. An outstanding example of an extremely scarce stamp! [From the Frederick H. Campbell collection.]
