Lot 478 Canada #680var 8c Multicoloured, 50th Anniversary of Royal Canadian Legion, A VFNH Single on NF/NF Paper Showing Upward Shift of Yellow Colour

A VFNH single of the 1975 50th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Legion Issue, on NF/NF paper, showing a strong upward shift of the yellow colour, which is very unusual on this very well printed stamp, that does not usually show any significant colour shifts. In addition, the NF paper, although listed as the standard paper by Unitrade, is actually quite scarce, with the common paper actually being DF/DF.

Centering/Margins: 50/70
