Two well centered and fresh NH singles of the 3c carmine-rose Queen Elizabeth II coil stamp from the 1953 Karsh Issue. Printed in two different shades of carmine-rose, on two different papers. One is on smooth vertical wove paper that only shows vertical mesh when held up to the light, and and giving a dull reaction under ultraviolet light. The other is also on a dull paper, but which shows no mesh, even when held up to the light. Shiny yellowish cream coloured gum. Unitrade values F-65 NH singles at $2. The stamps offered here grade 71 as follows:

Centering/margins: 45/70

Paper freshness: 5/5

Note: the above scan is a stock photo as are all my scans for material after 1952.The item (s) you will receive has (have) been carefully checked to adhere to the above grading standards, so while they may not be exactly the same, they will be of the same quality. Also, I do not provide back scans of NH stamps or blocks after 1952 unless they are required to illustrate some attribute of the paper of gum.
