Lot 194 Canada #1442iiivar 42c Astronauts Achievements, 1992 Canada In Space Issue, A VFNH Single Quasi-High Orbit: Border 1.5mm From Base Of Hologram, Where It Is Normally 0.5 mm, & Hologram Shifted 1.5mm Down, NF/DF1 Vertical Ribbed Coated Papers Paper

A VFNH single of the 42c multicoloured Astronauts Achievements from the 1992 Canada In Space Issue quasi-high orbit: border 1.5mm from base of hologram, where it is normally 0.5 mm, & hologram shifted 1.5mm down, NF/DF1 vertical ribbed Coated Papers paper. The normal hologram shows the full Canada-US border about 0.5 mm from the base of the hologram. The hologram also usually lies 2 mm above "Canada". So this would be considered a sort of "weak strength version" of the high orbit and a 1.5 mm downward shift of the hologram.

Unitrade values this at $75 for the listed high orbit. Our estimate of the value of this weaker version is $10. The stamp offered here grades 80 as follows:

Centering/Margins: 50/70

Paper Freshness: 5/5

Colour: 5/5
