Canada #338iv (SG#464) 2c Green 1954 Wilding Issue Plate 15 LL DF GW Smooth Paper VF-75 NH

A well centered and very fine NH example of the 2c green Queen Elizabeth II stamp from the 1954-63 Wilding Issue, in a plate 15 lower left (LL) block of 4. Printed on vertical wove paper giving a dull-fluorescent greyish white reaction under ultraviolet light with a very, very sparse concentration of low fluorescent fibres, and showing no visible ribbing. Although there are a few LF fibres present in this paper, there are not enough for this to fall under the classification of Unitrade's speckled fluorescent paper. This is basically a sub-type of DF paper. Light cream gum. Unitrade values a VF-75 NH block at $2.40. The block offered here grades 75 as follows:

Centering/margins: 45/70

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 of gum.
