Canada #35 (SG#75) 1c Lemon Yellow Sm Queen - P.12, 2nd Ottawa Printing VF-75 Mint OG

A well centered mint OG example of the Second Ottawa Printing of the one-cent Small Queen. Lemon yellow shade, and p.12 on rough, greyish horizontal wove paper measuring 0.0045" thick, including the brownish cream gum. There are some adhesions and spots of gum loss on the back. I dipped the stamp in fluid and can confirm that there are no thin spots. There is a very light, natural gum crease at the bottom of the stamp toward the right.
