Cover finally arrived, Canada Post apparently went back to work. It will remain here for a couple days and off to the PF it goes,

I like the chances.

They sure do look pink to me! Beautiful stamps and a great cover. Keep us posted.

(And sorry for the question, given all the tariff talk elsewhere - but were there any customs charges when it moved south of the border?)

gvol, fyi, I received 3 lots from Oakwood Auctions out of Canada a couple of days ago. The lot arrived via FedEx and there wasn't a tariff charge.

Ray, good to know. I've heard that sometimes FedEx follows up later with the bill (hope that doesn't happen here, obviously) but have yet to see that happen myself.

No tariff bill on this one. Canada Post turned it over to the USPS for delivery.

Don't have this in hand yet, but is there any doubts that this is a #64?

I have just found this stamp, but what color is it, to me it is very red, and not so much rose.
