Lot 130 Canada #184 3c Deep Carmine Red King George V, 1931 Admiral Provisional Issue, A Fine NH Plate A-14 Block of 8 Of The Perf. 12 x 8
A fine NH upper plate A14 block of 8 of the perf. 12 x 8 provisional stamp that was issued in 1931 during a temporary shortage of 3c stamps that occurred when the war tax was re-introduced. Die 2, dry printing, showing the re-drawn frameline at upper right. The existence of this stamp is one of the reasons why the normal perf. 12 die 2 stamps are so scarce: most were unsold when the Scroll issue replaced this issue and when the remainders were reissued, they were perforated in this manner. 2023 Unitrade catalogue value is $90. The block offered here grades 65 as follows:
Centering/Margins: 35/70
Colour: 5/5
Impression: 5/5
Absence of Visible Paper Flaws: 5/5
Perforations: 10/10
Paper Freshness: 5/5
