wert, those Cameo issue coils have got to be the worst centered modern Canadian stamps. Some of them are appalling. They are typically way off centre but not quite bad enough to actually be a miss-perf. Try getting these in VF-XF in strips of 4. It actually took me a few years to find the complete set. I notice that the Unitrade catalogue actually adds in a NH-F pricing column for this issue long after they have ceased to price mint F grades for other issues. The images in the catalogue are also not very well centered for this issue. Some horrendous quality control in the cutting and perforating of these stamps!

This goes back a ways but yet another example of a nice stamp with terrible centering:

I generally collect quality over quantity so I do not have too many badly centered stamps. The one below I acquired when I was a very young collector. I think I was impressed with it because it had no postmark (also no gum) and the dealer told me it had "jumbo" margins.
