A very fine NH upper left inscription block of the 8c multicoloured Jeanne Mance Death Tercentenary Issue of 1973.

Comb perforated 11 x 10.8. Smooth, white PVA gum with a satin sheen. Unitrade values a VF-75 NH block at $1.50. The block 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 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.
