Denmark – Scott # 78, used

Description

Denmark – Scott #78 (1905) – 100 øre Brown – King Christian IX – Used

This is a solid example of Scott #78, the high denomination of the 1904–1905 King Christian IX definitive series. Printed in a warm brown shade and denominated 100 øre, this issue represents the top value of the set and is always sought after by collectors completing Denmark’s early 20th-century pages.

The stamp is used, bearing a bold circular date cancellation that remains readable without obscuring the portrait. Despite normal postal wear, the design details—portrait lines, frame ornaments, and numerals—are clear and the perforations are intact. High-value used Danish definitives from this period remain popular and are increasingly harder to source in clean condition.

A strong and collectible example of a classic high denomination from the reign of King Christian IX.
