A well centered and very fine NH example of the $1 grey Pacific Coast Totem Pole stamp from the 1953 Karsh Issue, with "G" overprint in a plate 1 lower right (LR) block of 4. No guide dot in either selvage tab, as is normal for this position. Printed on horizontal wove paper giving a dull reaction under ultraviolet light and showing clear ribbing on the front, but not the back. Smooth, yellowish cream coloured gum. Unitrade values a VF-75 NH block at $100. The block offered here grades 80 as follows:

Centering/margins: 50/70

Paper freshness: 5/5

Colour: 5/5

Impression: 5/5

Absence of visible paper flaws: 5/5

Perforations: 10/10

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 it (they) may not be exactly the same, it (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.
