Still waiting for the return of the search and rescue sheet

The Certificate was received today and the comments were Canada Scott No. 2111,mint,OG,NH, sheet of 8, variety with perforations partially impressed,genuine.
Not sure what that all means. nice certificate.
Looking forward to the comments
Bob

Nice to have it verified as genuine and not something else.

"mint, OG" = Mint = post office fresh, with Original Gum.

"NH" = Never or Not Hinged (no hinge material appearing on the back or disturbance of gum present.

"variety with perforations partially impressed" = a variety of the original post office authorized printing, which usually has the edging holes or perforated circlular homes that appear around the edges of the stamps, having only some holes partly pressed into or through the paper, as is usually found on other sheets and stamps.


I myselflike the misperfs or stamps with perforations punched through or pressed through at an irregular location on the stamp.

Very impressive I think that yours is. Thanks for sharing.

Perhaps you should contact the Unitrade catalogue people to have it listed in the catalogue?

Puzzler thanks for the info it help explain the wording on the certificate and I will send the scan to Unitrade to see what they have to say maybe there other Search and rescue sheets out there that are the variety type and this will help others.
Thanks Bob

I assume this happens when two or more sheets are drawn into the perforator at once, so one of them is only dimpled? Does anyone know how many of these panes would make up a sheet? There could be more out there. Or could it be one of a kind? It's interesting to see something like this being "discovered."

Stray Feathers part of the sheet has no dimples or perfs, part has some dimples and there are a few perfs.I believe there are more out there as on the Canadian stamp auction page they have in their New Varieties discovered in the year 2006 March 7 in Canadian Stamp news 2111 Var .50 imperforate sheet.
