Canada #14 (SG#29) 1859-65 1c Rose Cents Issue - VF-76-J Used Example

A very attractive, if somewhat heavily cancelled example of this issue. The margins are large and even, clearing the outer framelines on all sides, which is seldom found on this issue. The perforations are even and intact all around and the colour is good. The cancellation is a bit heavy, which is the reason why the stamp is only graded a 76-J. If the cancel were lighter, this would be an 84-J and would be priced much higher. Unitrade values a VF-75 single at $150. The example offered here gradesVF-76-J as follows:

Centering/margins: 44/60

Paper freshness: 5/5

Colour: 5/5

Impression: 5/5

Absence of visible paper flaws: 5/5

Perforations: 10/10

Cancellation: 2/10
