Lot 426 Canada #O30var 20c Slate Newsprint Industry, 1950-1952 Natural Resources Issue, A VFOG Single With G Overprint & Unlisted Black Dot At Right Frameline, Interesting, See Lot 425

A VFOG single of the 20c slate Newsprint Industry from the 1950-1952 Natural Resources Issue with G overprint & unlisted black dot at right frameline, interesting, see lot 425. This is the first time I have come across any apparent plate flaw on this value. This variety appears to have actually come from the overprinting process, as the black ink appears to be exactly the same type. Beyond that, I can't really tell you anything else.

Unitrade values this at $4 for a normal VFOG single without the variety. Our estimate of the value with the variety is $10. The stamps offered here grade 75 as follows:

Centering/Margins: 45/70

Paper Freshness: 5/5

Colour: 5/5

Impression: 5/5

Absence of Visible Paper Flaws: 5/5

Perforations: 10/10
