Lot 477 Canada #716var 14c Multicoloured Queen Elizabeth II, 1977-1982 Floral & Environment Issue, 2 VFNH Singles With Double Cameo on DF/LF Paper, Deep Red & Bright Red Shades

2 VFNH singles of the 14c multicoloured Queen Elizabeth II from the 1977-1982 Floral & Environment Issue with double cameo on DF/LF paper, deep red & bright red shades. The double cameo often results from a shift in the background colour away from the cameo. But in this case it is due to a rightward shift of the highlights in the cameo, which would normally be flush with the left outline of the cameo. Includes: (1) deep red, grey cameo, DF2/LF3 bluish paper, 4.5mm tagging; (2) as (1) but slightly brighter red, paper appears more greyish on the back under UV.
