Canada #1405a, 1406-1407 42c-84c Multicoloured Montreal - Discovery, 1992 Canada '92 Issue, 4 VFNH Singles & 2 Se-Tenant Pairs On NF/DF1 And NF/DF2 Harrison Papers, Smooth & Spotty PVA Gums

4 VFNH singles & 2 se-tenant pairs of the 42c-84c multicoloured Montreal - Discovery from the 1992 Canada '92 Issue on NF/DF1 and NF/DF2 Harrison papers, smooth & spotty PVA gums. The Harison paper is usually known to exist mainly with a bluish gum that is "spotty", that is to say showing spots on the surface, where the gum is thinner. However, starting with this issue, a second type of gum, which is the same colour, but appears to be more evenly applied is found. The Harrison paper as well is seen to exist in two different fluorescent grades: NF on the front, due to the coating, and either DF2 or DF1 on the back. DF1 looks like the usual dull paper, but DF2 is noticably brighter, being almost, but not quite LF. The 42c and 84c stamps are on the NF/DF1 paper, while the 48c stamps are on NF/DF2 paper, and both types og gum are present for each stamp or pair.
