Canada #705var 1c Multicoloured Bottle Gentian, 1977-1982 Floral & Environment Issue, 3 Fine & VF Used Singles CBN Printing On DF1/DF1 Paper, Showing Green Spot On Leaf, White Spot Between DA Of Canada & White Spot On Blue Bottle Varieties

3 fine & VF used singles of the 1c multicoloured Bottle Gentian from the 1977-1982 Floral & Environment Issue CBN printing on DF1/DF1 paper, showing green spot on leaf, white spot between da of canada & white spot on blue bottle varieties . Donut flaws in general are much less common on these low value floral designs than are very minor misregistration of colours - ones where the overall designs appear to be well registered, but where the alignment is not perfect. I examined roughly 500-600 used examples of the CBN printings, and these three stamps are the only ones I found with donut flaws. Of the three offered here, two involve white flaws and one involves a green flaw on a green leaf (i.e. the same colour ink). These may be tertiary, but are unikely to be fully constant.

Unitrade does not list these varieties. Our estimate of the value is $6. The stamps offered here grade 70-75, 84 as follows:
