Lot 72 Canada #109 3c Carmine Red King George V, 1911-1928 Admiral Issue, A VFOG Example Of The Die One Dry Printing With Smooth Satin Gum
A very well centered LH example of the Carmine red shade, die one on medium wove paper with smooth gum that has a satin sheen. Most of the dry printings of this stamp have a thicker shinier gum that has streaks running vertically down it. This gum has the effect of dulling the embossing on the back, which makes it look almost like a wet printing. This example has a small natural paper inclusion in the margin under the left three. It also has the redrawn frame line. 2023 Unitrade catalog value is $30. The stamp offered here grades 82 as follows:
Centering/Margins: 54/70
Paper Freshness: 5/5
Colour: 5/5
Impression: 5/5
Absence of Visible Paper Flaws: 3/5
Perforations: 10/10
