I have completed the review of my ICELAND collection, and it was a meltdown.
Overall, the value of my Icelandic collection fell by 7.95% (ouch)
A few examples of decreases:
Scott 206, the 40a Geyser (1939) slid from $17.00 MNH, $32.50 used to $14.00 MNH, $27.50 used
Scott 677, the 500k Dragon (1989) tumbled from $19.00 MNH, $8.50 used to $17.00 MNH, $7.00 used
Scott C3, the Air Mail Gyrfalcon (1930) descends from $30.00 mint hinged, $60.00 MNH, $90.00 used
to $25.00 mint hinged, $50.00 MNH, $75.00 used
One notable increase:
Scott 1109a, the Glaciers booklet pane (2007) doubles from $12.50 MNH to $25.00 MNH
(this is not valued used in Scott)
NOTE: I realized as I was writing this analysis, that many in this forum do not use Scott catalogs. Therefore, I added references to stamp’s rate at issue date plus the year of issue.
