 Ferslew 4 rbs., plate 1, pos. 12, tied by target cancel to lettersheet from "KJØBENHAVN 6/7 1851" to Veile. The cover
was endorsed "fr." in the lower left corner which was contrary to the regulations and normally the cover would have been charged with 2 skilling payable by the recipient. In this case the sender was contacted (either due to the name on the wax seal
on the reverse or by advertising in 'Berlingske Politiske og Avertissementstidende') and the remaining "2" skilling were paid in cash at the post office. An outstanding 4 rbs. letter of great importance for Danish postal history. Certificate Nielsen

 Ferslew 4 rbs. chocolate-brown, plate 1, pos. 41 with good to large margins, tied by target to small lettersheet with
adjacent blue "KJØBENHAVN 7/4 1851" to Aabenraa, endorsed "frit" in the lower left corner contrary to the postal regulations. According to the circular 8/1851 the letter was advertised in the 'Berlingske Politiske og Avertissementstidende' and the
letter held at the post office to give the sender the opportunity to pay the missing 2 skilling. The sender paid the amount (noted at upper left); the "24" noted on the cover in red crayon is the record number of the letter in the list advertised.
This procedure was only executed for a short period in 1851 and this letter is believed to be the only surviving example of an advertised letter. An outstanding item of Danish postal history. Certificates Moeller BPP (2002) and Nielsen (2006)
Research in the Royal Copenhagen archives for issues of this official gazette showed that this list, copied from the archive, was the only such list of advertised letters published. (Image 1)

 Ferslew plate II, 4 rbs. chocolate-brown in vertical pair, tied by target cancel to lettersheet from "KJØBENHAVN 19 6
1851" to Apenrade, endorsed "franco" in the lower left, contrary to regulations, thus the letter was regarded as unpaid and charged with addtional "4" rbs. (12 rbs double rate unpaid letter fee minus 8 rbs. value of postage stamps). Credit given for
adhesives was only given for a short period from April 1st to July 24th 1851. Vertical file fold well off the franking and left side flap missing, otherwise fine and most attractive. This is the only recorded example of a double rate entire treated
this way. Certificate Moeller BPP (2008) (Image 1)
