Canada #1155var 1c Multicoloured Flying Squirrel, 1987-1991 Mammal & Architecture Issue, A VFNH Single Slater Paper, DF Greyish White/DF Bluish White, Taggant Residue Around Perfs, Unusual

A VFNH single of the 1c multicoloured Flying Squirrel from the 1987-1991 Mammal & Architecture Issue. Slater paper, DF greyish white/DF bluish white, taggant residue around perfs, unusual. These stamps are supposed to be untagged, but a small number of each value can be found with varying degrees of taggant residue, which is visible either on the front of the stamps, the back, or both. They are not common, just based on my experience in examining both mint and used stamps under UV light.

Unitrade does not list this variety, but we estimate the value at $5. The stamp offered here grades 84 as follows:

Centering/Margins: 54/70

Paper Freshness: 5/5

Colour: 5/5

Impression: 5/5

Absence of Visible Paper Flaws: 5/5

Perforations: 10/10
