Canada #473ii (SG#615) 5c 1967 Canadian Press Issue NF Gr Paper, Plate 1 LL Ribbed Streaky Gum VF-75 NH

A very fine mint NH lower left plate 1 block of the 5c violet blue 1967 Canadian Press Issue. Line perf. 11.85 x 11.95. Vertical wove paper with light ribbing that is just visible on the gum, and clear vertical mesh. Streaky cream DEX gum with a satin sheen. Under ultraviolet light, the paper gives a non fluorescent greyish reaction, with no fluorescent fibres being visible in the paper. This is one of two different variations of the NF paper that I have encountered on this issue. Unitrade values a VF-75 block at $10.00. 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.
