Lot 303 Canada #89vi 1c Deep Green King Edward VII, 1903-1911 King Edward VII Issue, A VG Used Single With Major Twisted Re-Entry Showing Doubling Throughout Design

A VG used single of the 1c deep green King Edward VII from the 1903-1911 King Edward VII Issue with major twisted re-entry showing doubling throughout design. The doubling is most noticeable in all of the letters of "Postage" and "DA" of "Canada", as well as the lower right frameline. The most spectacular re-entry I have seen on this issue to date, and illustrated on Ralph Trimble's website as #5 under the 1c re-entries.
