I found this King Christain X 6 aur (Scott #113, Facit # 129) while sorting through some of my Iceland stamps. There is no mention of the extra markings in the value in either catalogue. Is this a constant variety? Has anyone else seen anything similar to this?

Which catalogs did you reference? If I have one you didn’t use I’ll see what I can find.

My copy does not have what seems re-entries, so it could be a variety but is it recognized ? In Canada we have a re-entry specialist where we can send this kind of stuff....in Iceland  ? I am sure WERT would like to see this so I tagged Robert (an afficionado of re-entrie) for his "take" on your stamp. René |

Ok thanks very much renden.
philatelia, I've referenced Scott 2019 and Facit 2014.
Thanks all for your help.

My Stanley Gibbons 1st edition catalogue of Denmark and Norway (also includes Faröe Islands, Greenland and Iceland) (2018) makes no mention either. But like what renden said... there are probably many re-entries, much like early Canadian stamps. I don't know why catalogues specializing in Iceland make no mention of this. It must not be as collectible as the Canadian varieties. |

Nothing in my AFA or Michel. Advice about re-entries above is excellent. No examples on Northstamp.

This is certainly not a re-entry.
On the left it looks like a cracked plate which may be constant , the other two white marks look like dirt inclusions during printing which , though they may repeat , will certainly not be constant flaws which is why they will not get catalogue status.

On another note, you have a revenue cancel. Iceland is one of the few European countries for which revenue cancels on postage stamps frequently has higher value than a normal postage cancel, especially on the lower denomination stamps. Your 6a stamp is one example where there is a slightly higher premium (almost 2x).

Erik - That's quite a spectacular variety non the less. I think vikingeck is onto something, it appears more like a 'freak' than a constant flaw. Facit is normally good at listing varieties, so if it had been a constant flaw I presume it would have been listed? I would hang on to it - perfect material to include on a specialized page for curiosities  |

I think that is a typo in SG or mix-up. You can see that the price for the Tollur cancel for that stamp is greater than the postally used price! Yes, I can see both higher and lower prices, even though preceded by "T"!

On the 6 aur. SG states mint £15, used postally 8. 50., and Cancelled TOLLUR £14
quite clearly this is scarcer with T than with a postal cancel
There are others where the reverse is true eg the 2 and 5 kronur which are almost exclusively for customs duty and only the occasional parcel. SG and Facit are in agreement on this.

This is certainly not a re-entry. This is a typographed stamp. Re-entries are strictly on engraved stamps. A relevant quote from Ralph Trimble's site: Ryan |

Re-opening the case on this one ;-)
Although this is a typo-graphed issue, they are not without thier own known plate or printing errors as well.
A handbook or specialised catalogue covering the issue would list known printing errors and suspect that one as significant as this would be there.
Happy collecting!
