Canada #587 (SG#694) 2c Green Laurier 1972-1978 Caricature Issue MF/LF Paper Types 2 & 3 VF-80 NH

Two well centered and very fine NH singles of the 2c green Sir Wilfred Laurier stamp from the 1973-1977 Caricature Issue, each with two different intensities of Ottawa tagging. Printed on vertical wove paper showing no ribbing on either the front, or the back. The paper gives a low fluorescent bluish white reaction under ultraviolet light on the face and back, with a low density concentration of low fluorescent fibres and very few high fluorescent fibres visible in the paper. General OP-2 Ottawa tagging, 4 mm wide, of both moderate strength (clearly visible to the naked eye, but not dark), and light strength (barely visible to the naked eye) and glowing a bright yellow under ultraviolet light. Comb perforated 12.0 x 12.5. Smooth, creamy PVA gum with a satin sheen. Unitrade lists #587 as MF/LF paper, but I have found at least 11 varieties of fluorescence and tagging which closely fits this classification. These stamps represent two of those 11 variations. Unitrade values two VF-75 NH singles at $0.50. The stamps offered here grade 80 as follows: Margins/centering: 50/70 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 or gum.
