3 VFNH singles of the 10c multicoloured Lady's Slipper from the 1977-1982 Floral & Environment Issue precancelled, on DF1/DF1 and DF1/DF2 papers, satin PVA, showing mauve background and mauve-beige background with normal to compare. There is a chance that these may be colour changelings due to exposure to sunlight. However, usually sunlight will affect tagging as well and I note that in both cases the tagging is full strength and even, which suggests that these have not been exposed to sunlight.
