 1864/70, 3 sk. violet with numeral "44" used on local lettersheet with adjacent "NAESTVED 16 6" endorsed "fr" in the
lower left contrary to the postal regulations, so that the unpaid letter rate of 3 sk. instead of 2 sk. had to be paid. An attractive and exceedingly rare single franking; one of 3 examples recorded (Image 1)

 3 sk. lilac in horizontal pair (left stamp with perforation cut by scissors at left), tied by numeral "92" on
lettersheet from "SKJELSKJØR 2 10" to Copenhagen. The 3 sk. pair affixed on top of an endorsement "franco", so the postal clerk charged the unpaid letter rate of 6 sk., which was noted at upper right of the envelope and was paid in stamps. Fine and
rare letter (Image 1)

 1869, Original letter of explanation from the General Post Directorate in Copenhagen to the post office at Aarhus about
an express letter which was presented to the post office carrying a 4 sk. adhesive in the top of the right corner and in the bottom left corner a number of adhesives corresponding to the express fee, for which the sender was asked to pay an
additional 2 sk. for unpaid letter rate. The General Post Directorate answers detailed, that this action was completely in accordance with the present regulations. A very interesting original document (Image 1)

 1854/57, 4 sk. orange-brown with large margins, tied by clear strike of numeral "87" to lettersheet, previously
postmarked "LYGUMKLOSTER 10/11 1857" (the stamp slightly applied above the postmark) to Copenhagen. An extremely fine letter which shows a postal fraud committed by a postal clerk. The letter was brought into the post office where the clerk received
6 skilling in cash; he postmarked the letter, but did not endorse it with "franco" and later applied a 4 skilling stamp from the post office stock, pocketing 2 skilling for himself. The only recorded example of such a fraud for the first issues of
Denmark. Certificate Nielsen (1999) (Image 1)
