Hi folks,

I've just inherited a stamp album and notice amongst some Canadian Victorian stamps that the 2 cent stamp is misaligned. Is this quite common????

Thanks in advance for any responses. ..

Welcome to the forum Pooliebull

Unfortunately, yes. With a lot of the earlier issues, it is not uncommon to find stamps that are off centre. They are worth quite a bit less than a well centered stamp.

Yes! Doesn't do a lot for value, either. The lower right-hand stamp is the closest of these to the ideal of a well-centred stamp.

A magnifying glass is useful, but it is also nice to scan a page and look at them on your computer screen. Then Vicki's head can be enlarged to life size.
