Canada #J28a (SG#D32c) 1c Light Carmine Red 1977 Fourth Centennial Postage Due DF Paper VF-75 NH

A very fine mint NH single of the 1c light carmine red postage due stamp from the 1977-82 Fourth Centennial Postage Due Issue. Horizontal wove paper with no horizontal ribbing on the face and white PVA gum with a matte sheen. Under long-wave ultra violet light the paper gives a dull fluorescent, bluish white reaction, with a low density concentration of dull fluorescent fibres visible in the paper. Unitrade values a VF-75 NH single at $0.25. The stamp offered here grades VF-75 NH 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 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.
