About frimindeks.
Latest version: March 7th, 2010.
Frimindek.dk is a web stamp catalogue with prices reflecting the actual level for trading Danish stamps directly on the web or at auctions.
The way collectors are trading stamps is not the same today as it was 10 years ago. The web has given many collectors an easy access to deal with stamps world-wide. The price level in this kind of trading reflects a price level, which is different from that seen in many paper catalogues. Prices paid for stamps on web auctions are often much lower than prices in the traditionaly stamp catalogues. World-wide trading stamps on the web has become very popular.
Frimindeks.dk is a catalogue over Danish stamps, which list the prices collectors can find on the web or at auction houses. The catalogue has been expanded slowly since July 2009 with stamps from Iceland and Germany. The plan is to expand this the catalogue in the comming years. There is no plan to add further countries to the catalogue, but Germany (including DDR and the Bundesrepuplic) and Iceland hopefully can reach the same level as Denmark in the comming years.
Frimindeks.dk is an independent catalogue.
This edition of the catalogue includes most Danish stamps - including variation in colours, watermarks and perforation. For a few stamps some variation in the issues are still missing. The plan is that the missing parts shall be included in 2010.
Frimindeks.dk is created in a traditional manner with the oldest issues first and the newest in the end.
The catalogue is in English and Danish. There is still some overlap between the two issues - and sometimes you might end on a page in the language you do not favor. The catalogue in English is the most detailed. The plan is to change the structure of frimindeks to seperate the two languages better.
Danish language has three vocals ø (= oe) used in the colours like grøn (green) and rød (red) and in øre the Danish currency (1 krone = 100 øre), æ (= ae) used in Færøerne (faroe Islands) and å used in blå (blue).
The system of the numbers is simple. The first part is the classic issues: Klassisk 1851-1874 and Klassisk 1875-1905. From 1905-1930 the pages are named bogtryk after the printing method that was used for nearly all stamps from that periode. Followed by a part named stålstik after the printing method that have dominated Danish stamps since 1933. From 1971 it is as simple as a page for every year.
Only very few Danish terms or words are found in the Enlish translation, but you will find the three terms klassisk, bogtryk og ståltryk in the headlines of some pages.
Prices
The price is given a typical price seen during the last year on different auctions.
The price depends on the quality. The prices are for used stamps in good shape. Most Danish stamps can be found in fine quality. For a few stamps it is not the case. These stamps are marked with *.
All prices on pages in English are in euro (€) - on pages in Danish prices are in Danish kroner. 1 euro is 7,45 kroner. If the price of a stamp is below 0,10 € or for some pages 0,25 € it is given by the letter: C.
All prices is based on the total price from the seller. It means the price includes any commission from the seller - but the price does not include the cost to postage and fee in connection to transfer of money in connection with the deal. It is worth remembering that postage and fees can add a substantial amount to the price of the stamps.
