Canada #605iii (SG#711) 10c Dark Carmine Queen Elizabeth II 1972-1978 Caricature Issue Coil NF Paper Ghost Tag Bar On Back VF-75 NH

A very fine NH single of the 10c dark carmine Queen Elizabeth II coil stamp from the 1973-1977 Caricature Issue, showing a partial ghost tagging bar on the back of the stamp. Printed on vertical wove paper with no ribbing. The paper gives a non fluorescent grey violet reaction under ultraviolet light on the front, and a non-fluorescent greyish reaction on the back. General OP-2 Ottawa tagging, 4 mm wide, of moderate strength (clearly visible to the naked eye, but not dark), and glowing a bright yellow under ultraviolet light. The back scan of a single stamp shows a typical image of a partial ghost tagging bar on one of these stamps. Perforated 10.0 vertically. Smooth, cream PVA gum with a satin sheen. Unitrade lists 605iii as NF paper. I have found three different variations of the NF paper, of which this is one. Unitrade values a VF-75 NH single on the basic NF paper, with normal tagging, at $1.00. A more accurate value for this variety is $5. The stamp offered here grades 75 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: the above scan is a stock photo as are all my scans for material after 1952. The stamp, stamps or multiple you will receive has 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 stamp, stamps or multiples after 1952 unless they are required to illustrate some attribute of the paper or gum.
