I've seen postal stationery of the (unsurcharged) values: 3 o grey, 4 o blue, 5 o green, 8 o red,
Besides the normal postage stamps with "PORTO" overprint (issued in 1921, see under normal postage stamps), special postage due stamps were issued in 1921. They have the inscription "DANMARK PORTO". The following values were issued: 1 o orange, 4 o blue, 5 o brown, 7 o green, 10 o green, 20 o green, 25 o red, 25 o violet, 1 K blue, 1 K brown and blue and 5 K violet. The value 10 o green also exists with "GEBYR GEBYR" overprint. Example:
The first 'Official seal' was issued in 1878, it has inscription "POSTVAESENETS OVERBESTVRELSE KONTORET FOR BEHANDLING AF UNBESORGEDE POSTSAGER KJOBENHAVN" with a crown in the center in the colour brown with a green background pattern. Similar stamps were issued in 1890 and 1915 (smaller design), these stamps have inscription "GENERALDIREKTORATET FOR POSTVAESENET" (both in colour brown). Pictures of these stamps can be found at http://www.poseal.com/.

Kolding
Two different types, borders similar left King design and right
Mercury design (genuine?)
The above stamp is an essay of Denmark made in 1860: head of the King to the right in a circle, inscription on top "POST", right "F.R.M", left "K.G.L." and "8 RBS 2 1/2 SCH. C." at the bottom. The colour of this proof is brown (with blue underprint). There also exists another essay with the head of Mercury facing the left, (4 RBS 1 1/4 SCH. C.).
Forgeries exist. Melville in his Chats on Postage Stamps, page 240 says: but there was also a Brunswick dealer who " tried his hand at the Danish essays,", when discussing forgeries. The same sentence can be found in Lewis and Pemberton 'Forged Stamps' (1863) on page vi and page 13. In both genuine essays, the pearls of the central circle enter the space with "K.G.L." in the forgeries they don't.
Forgery (possibly the one described in Lewis and Pemberton). The
kings ear is more visible than in the genuine essay. The beard is
too short.
Different type, probably some kind of later reproduction of a
1852 Ferslew essay (possibly the forgery described in Lewis and
Pemberton). The back wing is not visible all the way (compare
with a genuine stamp above). The wavy pattern is too far away
from the square outer rectangle (in the genuine stamp it touches
the outer recangle in several places). The '4' is different. The
blue shading lines are too prominent.
Other essays:
Essay from 1867 with arms in the center, reduced size.
Essay of 1867 with the portrait of the king and "S" in
the bottom right corner. I've also seen this essay in the color
black.
8 Sk blue with image of the king, inscription "KONGEN AF
DANMARKS BRYSTSUKKER LA PATRIA CHR.L.LANGE KJOBENHAVN", an
advertisement label for sugar? I've also seen the value 16 Sk
red.
The following values exist 4 'fire' sk green , 8 'otte' sk brown, 16 sk blue, 32 sk lilac, 48 sk red, 1 R brown and blue, 1.48 R blue and red and 2 R red and brown.
The following values were issued: 5 o red and green, 10 o green, 15 o red and grey, 20 o black and grey, 30 o red and blue, 35 o blue, 65 o red and yellow, 70 o yellow, 1 K brown and red, 2 K black and red, 3 K red, 4 K blue and red, 10 K blue and red (value black) and 20 K blue and red (value black). New colours were issued around 1913: 25 o, 40 o, 50 o, 60 o, 75 o, 80 o, 90 o, 5 K, 6 K, 7 K, 8 K, 9 K, 40 K and 50 K (ore values in green and red colour and Krone values in brown and red colour).
5 o green (1934) 10 o green 10 o brown (1931) 10 o orange (1934)
Another set of fiscal stamps was issued in 1872 (Obligationsstempel), 16 values, all in the colour red and blue. Sorry, no picture available yet, if anybody posesses a picture, please contact me!
Other design: "FAKTURASTEMPEL"
In the above "FAKTURASTEMPEL" design I have seen: 50 Kr, 60 Kr, 90 Kr and 100 Kr. All are in brown colour with the value in black and have 'Nr. 2' printed in black at the top of the stamp.
Literature: 'Scandinavia Revenues European Philately 14' by J.Barefoot Ltd, 52 pages (I haven't seen this book myself).

These stamps exist with overprint "POSTFRIM. ORE 27 ORE DANMARK" (see under normal postage stamps).
Forgeries exist of the 38 o. They were made by 'repainting' a more common 29 o stamp. The shades of these two stamps are different however (source: Serrane guide).

This might be a forged overprint. The ferry stamps received
special cancels only not resembling town cancels, except for some
very rare usage in Kopenhagen as normal postage stamps (which was
forbidden on 20 June 1919)..
