Lot 135 Canada #203i 20c Brown Red Harvesting Wheat Overprint, 1933 Grain Exhibition Issue, A VFNH Right Block Of 4 Showing Broken X Variety In Block With 3 Normal, Very Light Gum Disturbance
A VFNH right block of 4 of the 20c brown red Harvesting Wheat Overprint from the 1933 Grain Exhibition Issue showing broken X variety in block with 3 normal. This comes from position 19 and is quite scarce, this being the first mint block I have seen, let alone offered. The gum is NH, but is affected by very light overall disturbance, like it was very lightly stuck to a mount. So we are counting it as hinged.
Unitrade values this at $350. The block 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
