A new Postal Code came into force on the 1st of January 2024. This means that the special status of PostNord (formerly PostDanmark) is abolished and that older stamps are no longer usable for sending letters within Denmark.

Older stamps can still be used for sending letters out of Denmark. So your old stamps shown above can theoretically still be used to send letters abroad from Denmark.

However: Sending a standard letter (up to 100 grams) from Denmark abroad now costs 50 DKK (yes, this is mind-bogglingly expensive). That means that it'll take 100 of the old stamps shown above to send a standard letter abroad from Denmark.

That's about the amount I payed for them each. So I got scammed and the owner probably just wanted to get it of them?

They could be selling them to collectors, how much did you pay? If the purpose wasn’t collecting why wouldnt you just go to a post office?

You bought collectors stamps dude. Resell them to some collector, or start your own. They really are very nice. I like the "flygtning 71" in particular.

Unless brought as a regular kiosk or similar with a PostNord sign outside, they have probably been selling stamps for collections. And at a regular kiosk you would not be able to pick up 1967 stamps

That said, I have no idea if these are that valuable for a collector

And postage, intended for mailing, is always sold without a markup
