Lot 347 Canada SC#O9-269var 10c Olive Great Bear Lake, 1946-1951 Peace Issue, A VF Used Single With 4-Hole OHMS Perfins From The Original Die, With Wide S, Position 3, Showing Several Missing Holes

A VF used single of the 10c olive Great Bear Lake from the 1946-1951 Peace Issue with 4-hole OHMS perfins from the original die, with wide s, position 3, showing several missing holes. These damaged die varieties where several of the perforation holes are missing are fairly scarce. I went through several hundred used examples of the 4-hole OHMS perfin on this value, and nearly all of them are the later die with narrow s, and only a handfull of examples, being less than 10, with any missing holes.
