Canada Centennials Printing Varieties.

NBSTAMPER - even blown up to 400% on my screen, I couldn't see anything other than the "T" variety. Can you re-do individually and maybe they'll come out better.

Here's some more.

454 - 1 cent Damaged 1


454 - 1 cent Mole on forehead


455 - 2 cent Partially missing tree


457 - 4 cent Doubled 4


459 - 6 cent Orange Fuzzy C


459 - 6 cent Orange Scar near nose


459 - 6 cent Orange Beauty mark


460 - 6 cent Black Mark on lip


460 - 6 cent Black Doubled second A


460 - 6 cent Black Line at C


544 - 8 cent Black Hairline at right margin


544 - 8 cent Black Mole removed from chin (missing lines)

The dot under the C and the dots across the top margin are my
scans that I posted earlier in this thread!
The 8 cent stamps are marked 6 cents.
That 4 cent stamp sure is interesting. If that is a re-entry
they wouldn`t be so far apart...or would they?
The doubling of the second A is such a high resolution
it`s hard to tell.

June 12.
The 2 cent missing tree trunk comes from the Opal booklet, left side
straight edge.
The 4 cent doubled 4(kiss print) is only found on the coil. Also found on the 3 and 5 cent coils.
The doubling of the second A of CANADA is found on the 6 cent orange
and black stamps, all perf 12 x12.5. May include some doubling of
other letters as well.

Here`s a 6 cent orange perf 10 with a mark in the top margin
above the head. I have 2 copies so it`s not a one of a kind freak.

This 6 cent stamp has a dot near the adams apple.
6 cent black perf 10 die I. It comes from the
1.50 booklet...row 3/3.

It`s a bit of a small dot, in the upper right margin but
it is a reported variety. 8 cent sheet stamp.

Here we have a dot in the right margin even with the
top of the A. Perf 10 sheet...row8/10...straight edge
on right.

This is the Dot in C variety. Perf 10 sheet stamp.
Row 10/9. Straight edge on bottom.

This is the 1 cent booklet from BABN...perf 12x12.5.
The lower right corner has been short printed.
It`s thought this is caused by poor inking or
a defective roller.

This one is called "stroke after 6". A mark just
to the right of the top of the 6. 12x12.5 plain
paper. Also found on the 12x12.2 black, type I.

Perforating pins bent...top left corner. I`ve seen some bent
pins on centennials...a wide or narrow space between holes...
but this is rather extreme. It looks like the pins are touching
each other.





Here`s another example...it`s not a bent pin. Check out the
next post and see studystamps explanation.

alanl: the pins are *not* bent; the paper did not advance as far as it should have between punches, leaving a narrow spacing. On certain Centennial issues, this is apparent in the left selvedge area, exactly as shown.

Thanks...it`s nice to see somebody is looking! I was thinking
the stamps were being perforated in the vertical direction
which would explain the repeating pattern. I know the stamps
are printed in the horizontal direction and I should have seen
my error in thinking.

This big dot is called "Little moon to right of library".
Partially hidden by a cancel line.

I look all the time and am amazed at all the varieties and wish I knew about them years ago when I was standing in a stamp store (now gone) debating with myself if I should buy the 6c orange perf 10 and the coil too. Decisions decisions. Ah, the fun.
