"FR Numbers" are the sequential numbers allocated to the stamps by the Faroese Post Office. They normally appear on the sheet margin in plate blocks. In the first few issues, numbers were Ø015 etc, changing to FR022 etc. from the Birds of 1977.

Condition - mint prices are for fine unmounted mint, used is for fine used (normally cancelled-to-order), presentation packs are fine and complete as issued, and first day cover prices are for fine and clean illustrated and unaddressed covers.
