Lot 133 Canada #MR5 2+1c Bright Carmine Red King George V, 1915-1918 Admiral War Tax Issue, A VFOG Example Of The Die 1, Perf. 12 X 8 With Enormous Margins

A beautiful OG example of the perf 12 x 8 printed in a shade of bright carmine red, with the most enormous margins I have ever seen on this stamp. it is centered just a touch to the bottom otherwise this would be a near gem example. As it is it should be worth a considerable premium over the price of a typical very fine example, as margins like this are an extremely rare occurrence. 2023 Unitrade catalog value for a standard VF OG example is $80. in our view, this stamp should be worth at least $200 if not more because of the margins. The stamp offered here grades 80-J 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
