Iceland: Stamps: Scott 130-143: 1921-1930 Surcharges (Part I)
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.

132 [1921 "20 aur" Surcharge on 25 aur Christian IX] NH VF 8-block containing sheet positions 21-24 / 31-34. The handbook on this issue (Regeling) lists only four frame flaws on the underlying 25 aur stamp -- this block contains two of them! One of the varieties is "white spot in "h" of "Chr" in position 31 (and 81) and another is colored line to right of "N" of "ISLAND" in position 24 (and 74). This issue was printed by two impressions of a 50-subject plate, thus each variety usually appears twice in the sheet (though on this stamp, the other two recorded varieties each exist only in one position, 15 and 48). Medallion varieties of this stamp are only recorded in positions 7 and 73. The sheet positions of this block are also confirmed because it was taken out of a larger marginal block. Very bright and attractive; extremely fresh. Even ordinary nice NH singles are difficult to find. The break-up value as normal NH VF stamps is $272!

134 ROUGH PERFORATION VARIETY [1922 20 aur surcharge on 40 aur King Christian IX] NEVER HINGED with XF centering. A wonderful example with almost perfect centering and an outstanding example of the rough perforation variety. Additionally, this stamp has an unlisted plate variety in the overprint: The "0" has a large dent on the outside of the lower right.

Scott #134 [1922 20 aur surcharge on 40 aur King Christian IX] Used with Superb centering and a neat, partial "VI(K)" bridge-style cancellation. The centering and overall appearance of the stamp is absolutely exceptional, with "perfect" centering, "perfect" perforations, and excellent color. However, the cancellation adds significantly to the scarcity and desirability of this example. The VIK cancellation was used 1910-1969, which means that it is not very scarce in totality. However, the vast majority of that use was in later years. Furthermore, the mere fact that the cancellation device could exist for 59 years as the primary postmark of a post office, means that the post office handled a very small volume of mail -- and thus early uses are especially scarce. Separately, the 1921-1930 overprinted stamps are remarkably scarce with small village / farmstead / rural cancellations. The overprinting was done to use up obsolete stamps rather than to destroy them. However, based on my observations of the cancellations found on these overprinted stamps, the distribution of the overprinted stamps was mostly only to Reykjavik and the larger towns that had the majority of commercial activity. Stamps canceled at smaller places may been brought there by travelers. This a wonderful example of the stamp, and an excellent example of scarce use at a small place, in addition to being a nice use of this particular postmark.
