Hi guys...As if your brain needs more pressure...haha. Anyways these 2 Scott #482 come from a sheet of 50 stamps. QUESTION - How many will have 3 or less perforated sides..? QUESTION - How many will have 4 perforated sides..? Tricky, but easy question...   |

I make it 24 with perfs all around. 4 with two flat edges and 22 with one flat edge. Of course this assumes that the sheets are 5x10 and not 2x25! |

I'll try a fool-proof answer ... taking both of your questions as one, the answer is "All of them".  |

I believe there was a selvedge at the bottom: 27 with 4 perforated sides, and 23 with a straight edge or two. |

For the philatelic bureau stock (with 4 corner inscription blocks) sheet of 50 rather than the post office field stock (without 4 corner inscription blocks) sheet of 50 as shown above, 45 stamps would have perforations around all of their 4 corners while 5 stamps at the top (or one side) of the sheet would have a straight edge. This issue (482) is tricky for collectors along with 483, 484 and 490. See boxed notes at the bottom of Unitrade catalogue page 170. Both The Unitrade Canada Specialized Stamp Catalogue and The Canada Queen Elizabeth II Stamp Study Group The Corgi Times are excellent highly recommended philatelic resources.  |

You got me sak. I did a quick search of my archives to see if this issue had any selvedge on the post office stock and could find no suggestion that it had any. Your sheet example makes my calculation quite wrong. Where did you find this reference so quickly? |
