Reviving this country !!
"Hekla is a stratovolcano in the south of Iceland with a height of 1,491 m (4,892 ft). Hekla is one of Iceland's most active volcanoes; over 20 eruptions have occurred in and around the volcano since 874. During the Middle Ages, Europeans called the volcano the "Gateway to Hell".
The VEI 4 eruption started on 29 March 1947 and ended on 21 April 1948. It is likely that this was both the second greatest lava eruption of Hekla whilst Iceland was inhabited and the second greatest lava eruption in the world in the period 1900–1970.The eruption occurred over a century after the last eruption of Hekla proper, the longest dormant period since 1104."
Eruption of Hekla Volcano .
1948,Dec.3 - Scott #246-252
Beautiful design and engraving !!

Iceland
King Christian IX Issue, 1902-1904These are the top three values in this set of 13 definitive stamps. I also acquired these at the Aix market in 2018. All examples shown below are perforated 13 and watermarked Crown (Scott Wmk 113).  Sc 44, 1-krona slate blue & yellow brown  Sc 44A, 2-kr olive brown & bright blue  Sc 44B, 5-kr orange brown & slate blue Note: I am 98% sure that these are CTO examples, but I am not sure how much that affects their value. Any comments are welcome!

I just got the news today from Linn's that Iceland will discontinue new issues after October. I had heard this was being discussed, but it's a sad day for collectors.

I have to admit that I have mixed feelings about this. I sometimes wish that the glut of new issues would be sharply curtailed, but this step seems extreme. So what will they use for postage? Will the current definitive series be reprinted until the cows come home?

The Linn's article indicated the officials believe they have a sufficient supply of stamps and may reprint current issues as needed.

Received this week, the Christmas 2020 issues from Iceland. With the recent announcement that the Icelandic philatelic service is stopping its activities, maybe these are the very last ones?  |

Eyjafjallajökull (glacier of the mountains of the islands) is an ice cap that covers a caldera (a cauldron-like hollow) of a volcano. This volcano, most famously, erupted in 2010 beginning in March and up to May causing much disruption to air travel across Europe. As if to rub it in, Iceland issued 3 stamps on 22nd July 2010 with encapsulated volcanic ash!
Here is the first day cover:

Some Iceland stamps (pics) from my old International Scott Junior Album.....time to make pages - there is a missing page my wife did not take with her Iphone 12....next time LOL !! These stamps would be gorgeous on new pages - well I doo not have time right now - next week a project with the incoming French Niger Stamps 1-28, Indochina # 1-2, Mauritanie 76-108, and lots more of Mauritanie....my quest to do the French Colonies in Africa, Madagascar not yet decided....as said earlier all the classics will not be there - but at least some pages are complete....to show......Indochina (not part of the project) full page # 1 Stamping is fun !! Thanks for the likes WERT and other members since I deleted My 1st post but you are in my heart - not good to duplicate scans (pics in this case) without the likes (many)  René    |

Almost done with Iceland. Missing a few on the first 2-3 pages pages, and they are not only difficult to get hold of, they also cost .... It takes time when the level of quality must be completed. But after a few years I became more and more concerned with quality and it made me become fascinated, real Have a fairly large stock of duplicates and want to sell some of it, maybe here when I have been "approved" for sale

Nice Iceland collection , some quality cancellations. A nice side line with early Iceland is to collect also the number cancels from the small village collection offices, the “brjefhithing” offices . Used from1903 to about 1950. Some are rare but many are not expensive. Have you any of these in the duplicates ?
you have 28 posts already ……..soon you will have the 50 you need to qualify to trade here 👍

Hello vikingeck You are right, some of the postcancels from Iceland are very rare. It seems that the cancellation instructions have been strictly followed. Only on the edge, rarely "bullseye" But they have few post offices so you do not need much info to clarify. Have not set aside time to study the scrapbook after cancels. But will try a little tonight. Do I have so many posts already? ok, i have to prepare for some sales soon then It has probably grown a bit out of control, in size .... known problem?  And I experience it as a little uncomfortable feeling when I have bought too much set up against available time, even though I spend hours every day. |

Still missing some essentials ... but one step at a time. Can not remember seeing a complete Iceland on the market here, so excited about the potential value complete. I can scan multiple pages if desired, just fun to share, I am often fascinated and motivated to see how it can be.   |

I was reorganizing my Iceland collection, and saw I might have a duplicate.
I took a closer look, having recently dealt with Saar plateflaws. Take a look at the letter u in the overprint on the right stamp:
Is this a recognized plate flaw in some specialized catalog, or is something else going on here?

Looking at Facit, they show 3 different overprint styles for the 20 on 40, nothing for the 30 0n 50 though. But just looking at the 30 on your stamps, they are definitely different. A keeper for sure, especially with the notch in the "u"!

Iceland, 1993-1994, Franking Labels (Frankeringsetiketter)
I found this page yesterday while going through the last of my long forgotten Iceland material.
The following labels were sold from slot machines made in Switzerland by FRAMA AG. They could be used in the same way as ordinary stamps for all types of postal charges. They were available in all possible values in stages of 10 aurar, from 0010 up to and including 9340 (01) or 9990 aurar (02).
Ordinary white paper, with grey security printing (the emblem of Post and Tele Administration), imperforate with invisible gum.
WARNING! Never place FRAMA Labels in direct sunlight. The ink is light sensitive and will easily fade.

Numbered Labels: Posthorn (Numerade etiketter: Posthorn) (edited from FACIT)
