Danish Classics, Show Them To Me.

are there collectors of the danish bicolored on this forum?



feel free to post pictures and i'll try and plate them.

I have only these three cancelled:

Denmark cover 1867, Hi; Can one plate this issue?

@Makanudo

your 8øre is difficult to determine the print on without a much better scan.
the worn frame suggest it to be around print 61.

your 12øre is print 16, used around the time when print 19 was printed, but the new oval suggest it to be a "wintered" stamp, someone had it for a few years then used it.

the other stamp isn't classic, and all stamps are quite common.

But it doesn't get much prettier than those bicolored in terms of the intricate design of this era, so cherish them :)

@perf 12

yes the arms issue from 1864 is something people plate, not that many though.

it looks like 1867 which you also stated, and the stamp looks more like a 3rd printing, maybe 1st.

the F - P cancel means it's a local letter carried by foot.

sORSH: Thanks for your reply;Instructive.I like the "carried by foot cancel"

A Teaser for you.

to everyone interested in danish bicolored, and perhaps other classic issues there's a free to use program made by Lasse Nielsen.
i don't think it's has english in it, so you'd need to learn it by using an online translater..

but with that program you could basicly start working on most of the danish classics (including iceland).

this is the program on the 2skilling 1864 issue page 1 og 10

Sc. 16 & 19 on cover front only

Very nice cover!

hard to make out the 2sk, looks like 6th print, and 8skilling 3rd print

If anyone is interested in using the "Tofdata" program I would be happy to write up a english guide to the basics of the program.

also, if anyone is interested in the danish bicolored I would be happy to show some of the well known frame and oval flaws that are highly popular around the world.

Sorsh: I'd be interested in seeing some frame and oval flaws.
