Denmark – Scott #s 239–43, used

Description

This is a handsome used set of Denmark Scott #239–243, issued between 1913 and 1928 and featuring the finely engraved profile of King Christian X. These classic high-denomination definitives are favorites among Scandinavian collectors, known for their crisp craftsmanship, bold colors, and clean typography typical of the era.

This group includes the following values:

• 50 øre (Scott 239) – gray

• 60 øre (Scott 240) – green

• 75 øre (Scott 241) – deep blue

• 1 krone (Scott 242) – brown

• 2 kroner (Scott 243) – carmine

• 5 kroner (bonus high value, often paired with the set) – purple

Each stamp shows clear to moderate circular date cancels, ideal for collectors who prefer strong postal authenticity over heavy obliteration. Centering is generally nice across the group, with perforations intact and no thins or creases noted from the scan.

These issues mark Denmark’s shift into modern definitive design, reflecting both the stability and the evolving artistic style of the early 20th century. A solid representation of the Christian X portrait series and a lovely addition to any Scandinavian collection.
