Canada #1125var 72c Multicoloured Battleford, 1987 CAPEX'87 Issue, A VFNH Single With Significant Leftward Shift of Colour

A VFNH single of the 72c multicoloured Battleford from the 1987 CAPEX'87 Issue with significant leftward shift of colour. Insignificant misregistrations between the black engraving and the color on the buildings and foliage are not uncommon, but in those cases usually the features of the building are still in the correct place, if slightly shifted. Significant shifts result in feaures of the building being significantly out of place. On this example, all the colour is shifted almost a full 1 mm to the left. This affects nearly all the fine detail in the building, which appears shifted to the left.
