Lot 123 (C) Canada #75iii, 75xx 1c Blue Green Queen Victoria, 1898-1902 Numeral Issue, 5 Very Good/Fine Used Singles, All With Re-Entries Involving The LL & LR Spandrels

5 very good/fine used singles of the 1c blue green Queen Victoria from the 1898-1902 Numeral Issue, all with re-entries involving the ll & lr spandrels.

The majority of re-entries on this issue involve the doubling of the lower spandrels. The doubling usually involves the horizontal shading lines, the numerals and the numeral boxes. The strongest re-entries involve all three elements, and both spandrels, while the weakest ones only involve one element in the spandrel. Two of the stamps have creases, one has a stain at top and all show different doubling.

Unitrade doesn't list these varieties, so we estimate them at $10. The stamp offered here grades 56 as follows:
