Canada #723C 60c Multicoloured Toronto Street Scene, 1977-1982 Floral & Environment Issue, 2 VFNH UL Plate 2 Blocks, Printed on Slightly Different DF Papers

Two VFNH upper left plate 2 blocks of the 60c multicoloured Toronto Street Scene stamp from the 1977-1982 Floral & Environmental issue, printed using lithography and engraving. Printed on two very slightly different versions of the DF/DF paper.

The first block is on a paper that appears to react in a slight violet colour under UV on both sides, whereas the other appears greyish white under UV on both sides.

The shades on this stamp vary mostly in terms of the colour of the high rise building on the left and the colour of the street at lower right. The differences are very slight, but if you compare the stamps carefully you can see them. The two blocks offered here in this lot are the same shade.

Unitrade values these blocks at $17.00 in this grade. The blocks offered here grade between 80 and 84 as follows:

Margins/centering: 50/70 and 54/70

Paper freshness: 5/5

Color: 5/5

Impression: 5/5
