A very fine mint NH upper left blank field stock block of 4, from the upper right pane, of the 5c blue and red Expo 67 Issue. Line perf. 11.85. Horizontal wove paper with vertical ribbing that is just visible on the gum, and streaky cream DEX gum with a satin sheen. Under ultraviolet light, the paper gives a low fluorescent ivory reaction, with 1-2 low fluorescent fibres visible in the paper. This is an unlisted fluorescent paper variety that I have not seen before. Usually these types of paper varieties sell for between $10-$15 per block when they are listed. The block offered here grades VF-75 NH as follows:
Margins/centering: 45/70
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.
