Lot 256 Canada #114 7c Red Brown King George V, 1911-1925 Admiral Issue, A VFNH Single With Varnish Ink, Dry Printing
A VFNH single of the 7c red brown King George V from the 1911-1925 Admiral Issue with varnish ink, dry printing. This is a very unusual variation of the ink that we have only seen on one other issue: the 8c Medallion issue. It is thought to come about as a result of improper mixing of the ink.
