A very well centered and very fine mint NH plate 2 upper right block of four of the 5c myrtle green and pale rose red 1967 Toronto Centennial Issue. Line perf. 11.85 x 11.85. Vertical wove paper with light vertical ribbing that is just visible on the gum side. Streaky creamy DEX gum with a semi-gloss sheen. Under ultraviolet light, the paper gives a dull fluorescent greyish white reaction, with very few low fluorescent fibres being visible in the paper. This is one of the variations of the dull paper that I have encountered on this issue. Unitrade values a VF-75 NH block at $1.75. The block offered here grades VF-84 NH as follows:
Margins/centering: 54/70
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.
