Lot 78 (C) Canada #41 3c Deep Orange Vermillion & Orange Vermillion Queen Victoria, 1888-1897 Small Queen Issue, 5 Good-Very Fine Used Singles, Mid to Late Second Ottawa Printings, All Showing Medallion Pos. Dots At 3, 6 & 9 O'Clock

5 good-very fine used singles of the 3c deep orange vermillion & orange vermillion Queen Victoria from the 1888-1897 Small Queen Issue, mid to late second Ottawa printings, all showing medallion pos. dots at 3, 6 & 9 o'clock.

These show that medallion dots were used throughout the second Ottawa period, yet very few stamps show the dot clearly. Two are dated 1895, one 1896 and 2 1897. One 1897 date has a diagonal crease. Various transluscent papers. See if you can sort them using my table.
