If you wish to sell items mentioned in our "Wanted list" and you want to sell other items too, we can now and then offer to buy all your items, as long as there is a sensible proportion between items we wish to buy and items we already have in abundance. No rules without exceptions, so naturally you are always welcome to send an inquiry, or ask in general terms before spending time counting and typing.

This 1977 Royal Copenhagen jubilee platemarks the Bicentennial of the birth of HansChristian Ørsted, the Dane who discovered electromagnetism. Hans Christian Ørsted wasborn in 1777, on the island of Langeland insouthern Denmark. Hans Christian Orsted received an untraditional education for ascientist. There was no faculty for chemistry or physics at the University of Copenhagen, so he studied pharmacy, whichwas his father's profession. Entirely through his own efforts, he learned enough in Germany and France to establish himself as an expert in the Natural Sciences, and in 1806 he was appointed Professor of Physics at Copenhagen University. It was here, in July 1820, that Hans Christian Orsted published a pamphlet announcing the dramatic results of his experiments on the effect of the electric current on the magnetic needle. This appeared simultaneously in scientific journals in London, Paris, Pavia and Leipzig. Widespread recognition followed and Hans Christian Ørsted was elected an honorary member of many leading international, scientific societies. Hans Christian Ørsted's discovery was one of the most important scientific breakthroughs in the 19th century and a necessary condition for the development of the electro-technical industry. Hans Christian Ørsted occupies anhonourable place among his famous compatriots: Tycho Brahe the astonomer, OleRømer - who measured the velocity of light,and atomic physicist Niels Bohr.The low-relief motif on the plate is hand-cut and finished in Royal Copenhagen'sdistinctive blue colouring by the hand of skilled craftsmen. Again, this is a limitedissue. The molds were destroyed on August 14th 1977, Hans Christian Ørsted's birthday.
