Canada #395 5c Brown and Emerald, 1961 Resources For Tomorrow, Two VFNH Examples With Dramatic Shift of the Vignette

Three very fine NH examples of the 5c brown and emerald 1961 Resources for Tomorrow Issue, two of which show the cogwheel shifted dramatically over to the left, and right side of the design. A third, normal example is provided to show the normal position of the cogwheel, which is centered within the white space. Unitrade does not list shifts like this, but they are not common, with a shift this prominent only turning up only a handful of times in over 300 stamps that I examined. A reasonable estimate would be $10. The stamps offered here grade 80 as follows:

Margins/centering: 50/70

Paper freshness: 5/5

Colour: 5/5

Impression: 5/5

Absence of visible paper flaws: 5/5

Perforations: 10/10
