A fine NH single of the 2c green Sir Wilfred Laurier stamp from the 1973-1977 Caricature Issue, with 1-bar tag error (Rose 587 G1aC). Printed on vertical wove paper showing no ribbing on either the front, or the back. The paper gives a dull fluorescent greyish reaction under ultraviolet light on the face, and a dull fluorescent greyish white reaction on the back. General OP-2 Ottawa tagging, 4 mm wide, of moderate strength (clearly visible to the naked eye, but not dark), and glowing a bright yellow under ultraviolet light. Comb perforated 12.0 x 12.5. Smooth, creamy PVA gum with a satin sheen. Unitrade lists #587iii as being on DF paper, but I have found at least 19 varieties of fluorescence and tagging which closely fits this classification. This is one of those 19 variations. Rose values a VF-75 NH single at $20, so a fine single should be worth approximately half of that. The stamp offered here grades 70 as follows: Margins/centering: 40/70 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 or gum.
