Canada #469 (SG#611) 5c Blue and Red Expo 67 DF-fl IV, LF, 1-2 Fibres Paper, Ribbed Streaky Gum VF-84 NH

A very well centered and very fine mint NH single of the 5c blue and red Expo 67 Issue. Line perf. 11.85. Horizontal wove paper with light vertical ribbing that is just visible in the gum and streaky cream DEX gum with a satin sheen. Under ultraviolet light, the paper gives a dull fluorescent ivory reaction, with 1-2 fluorescent fibres visible. This is one variation of the normal dull paper. Unitrade values a VF-75 NH single on the normal dull paper at $0.35. The stamp offered here grades VF-84 NH as follows: Margins/centering: 54/70 Paper freshness: 5/5 Colour: 5/5 Impression: 5/5 Absence of visible paper flaws: 5/5 Perforations: 10/10 Note any vertical or horizontal line shown in the scan is the edge of the acetate strip that the stamp was resting inside on the stockcard. 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.
