Lot 345 Canada SC#O9-269var 10c Olive Great Bear Lake, 1946-1951 Peace Issue, A Fine Used Single With 4-Hole OHMS Perfins From The Original Die, With Wide S, Position 3, Showing Wide Spacing Variety

A fine used single of the 10c olive Great Bear Lake from the 1946-1951 Peace Issue with 4-hole OHMS perfins from the original die, with wide s, position 3, showing wide spacing variety. Normally, the spacing on these perfins is such that two full strikes, or one full strike and one partial strike appear on the same stamp. On this example only one strike appears on the stamp. There are traces in the perfs on the left side of the very right edge of the next impression, but this is well outside the normal spacing found, and is in our view collectible.
