Canada 1036var 32c Multicoloured Scotia 0-6-0 Type, 1984 Canadian Locomotive Issue, A VFNH Single DF2/DF2 Harrison Paper, Black Dot on Yellow Dome (Pos. 41) Variety, Tertiary or Potentially Constant

A VFNH single of the 32c multicoloured Scotia 0-6-0 Type from the 1984 Canadian Locomotive Issue DF2/DF2 Harrison paper, black dot on yellow dome (pos. 41) variety, tertiary or potentially constant. The "1" or "2" in the paper description refers to where the paper falls on the Irwin-Freeman scale, from 0 to 12, with 0 being NF and 12 being the brightest of hibrites. DF2 is quite close to LF, but not quite bright enough. That being said, the difference between DF2 and NF visually is quite striking. This variety is at least tertiary, as I have seen several examples of it, all from the same position in the sheet.

Centering/Margins: 45/70
