Lot 119 Canada #MR2B 5c Dark Blue King George V, 1915-1918 Admiral War Tax Issue, A VFNH Example Of The Diagonal Black War Tax Overprint
A well-centered very fine NH example of the scarce diagonal black war tax overprint on the five cents dark blue, with retouched frame line in the upper right corner. Unitrade does not list the retouched frame line on the war tax overprint, however we have examined several stamps with this overprint and can confirm that not all of them have the retouch. There is one unpunched perforation in the center of the stamp on the right side, which results from a perforation pin breaking off during production. A lovely stamp in every respect, deserving of the finest collection. 2023 Unitrade catalog value is $1,200. The stamp offered here grades 80 as follows:
Centering/Margins: 50/70
Paper Freshness: 5/5
Colour: 5/5
Impression: 5/5
Absence of Visible Paper Flaws: 5/5
Perforations: 10/10
