Two well centered and very fine NH singles of the 7c deep brown Louis St. Laurent stamps from the 1973-1977 Caricature Issue, each printed on a different paper. General OP-2 Ottawa tagging, 4 mm wide, of very weak strength (almost invisible to the naked eye) and glowing a bright yellow under ultraviolet light. The paper gives different reactions under UV light as follows:

  • One stamp is on a vertical wove paper with a smooth, burnished surface texture. Under UV light, the paper gives a dull fluorescent greyish white reaction on both sides.
  • One stamp is on vertical wove paper that has a burnished smooth surface on the printed surface. Under UV light, the paper gives a non-fluorescent greyish reaction on the face and back.

Comb perforated 12.0 x 12.5. 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.
