Danish counterstamps are very rare as a group with only about thirty issuers documented. This is one of the more common ones but still a nice find for me.</p><p>Allan Dahl lived between 1826 and 1896 in Copenhagen and was, apparently, in the advertising business in that city. His company had the rather awkward name of The Bureau for Permanent Advertisement and was located at 26 Trollesgade. What exactly the company did is not known to me. Most of the nearly fifty examples documented are stamped on Swedish 5-Ore coins. A few are on Norwegian 5-Ore but none on Danish coins. A nice clear counterstamp on a decent coin that fits nicely in my small collection of foreign stamps.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
