Lot 281 Canada #15vvar 5c Vermillion Beaver, 1859-1864 First Cents Issue , A Very Good Used Single With Major Re-entry, Not At Position 28, But Very Strong

A very good used single of the 5c vermillion Beaver from the 1859-1864 Cents issue with major re-entry, not at position 28, but very strong.

This re-entry shows strong doubling of the UL, LL & LR 5's 'five cents', the ovals above CANA. This appears close to Trimble's illustrated re-entry for position 22.

Unitrade values this at $250 for the position 28 re-entry, so our estimate of the value is $125 for this position. The stamp offered here grades 60 as follows:

Centering/Margins: 20/60

Paper Freshness: 5/5
