Isn't This A Nice Cancel ?

This Dominica scott # 72 has a rounded corner..but isn't that a nice cancel ???

Too bad about the corner, but a very nice cancel indeed.

That is a nice cancel. In case anyone is wondering about the end of the post office name, it is "Roseau" which is the capital of Dominica.

Thanks CJD ! was going through an older British Commmonwealth stockbook and it stood out !!

I can see why.

hmmmmm, maybe I should start a SON sub-collection.
Nice!

For those following the discussion in the worthless stamps? topic, would a SON deserve a premium over a non-SON cancel?

I'm starting to think yes that a SON cancel is the ultimate in a used stamp. Plus very few fake cancels are SON.

That's an attention grabber Phil. Nice.

Some of the European catalogues depict and describe cancel centering as it pertains to value. So yes, for many people, a SON cancel will warrant a premium.

I might have an envelope with a few dozen examples of a given stamp that wouldn't sell for two cents, but I'll still consider paying something for another one with a really sharp cancel. (And I'm only talking about a cancel's appearance...rarity is another thing, entirely.)

Oh! Very nice! (I'm a SON nut.)

I know plenty of dealers who have binders set aside only with SON singles. They sell like hotcakes, even if they're on common stamps.

{goes back to sorting Machin kiloware for SONs}

Thanks guys...cancels that are pleasing to the eye make the stamp for me !!
