I have been watching auctions for a decent copy of Canada #20 (Queen Victoria 2 cents). I bought one for less than the going rate (happily) but when I received it I wondered if it was the variety 20v listed in Unitrade, with a "dash in lower right 2". This stamp has a less distinct slash than some, but when I looked at a variety of copies available in various places, the slash seems to vary in prominence, and Unitrade says the variety is known from several positions. Would anyone who has any experience with this variety care to comment?

looks like a dash, but probably from one of the positions where the flaw was less prominent.
Here's a piece of a scan from the proof sheet for the 2 cent where adjacent stamps had the dash (there are a bunch of stamps with the dash, that's why it's not a big premium price-wise in the catalog). You can see the difference between them.
