I see some unusual stuff, like a bulge on the C of Canada and the S of Seventeen, but other than that?

Thanks Gilles for showing these. The major one is described in Unitrade Cat 2018 as 19ii and other as 19iv which I had not seen on my stamp. René |

Renden, I started a lifelong projects many years ago on this stamp. Trying to assemble a complete sheet with all positions. After many years, I on;y have about 65 different positions. Toughest ones to get is # 7, and 29, in addition to 5 and 100. One day, I plan to post all of them individually. Will need to open a tread for this project...when I have time... |

Gilles,
I knew you had interest in Canada 19 - Jacques Cartier 17 c, the minute I joined this Forum and any critique on my newy acquired stamp will be taken positively ! Would also appreciate learning more on these "positions" - how they are deciphered ! I do know the definition of plating and positions but how do you go about it ?? Rene |

Gilles, I would be happy to build you an online database for your plating project. You would have access permissions to add/edit plating images and info and also be able to export the database to a spreadsheet, PDF, CSV or XML at any time. Others would be able to view your plating work. Let me know if this is something you would like to do. Don |

Studebaker51, this would be fabulous.  . I am in Ottawa, so I would be able to spend my rainy days at National Archive Canada to look at their complete sheet. I have a copy of it, but the resolution is currently too low (only 150 dpi). Will have to get higher resolution if possible. I also obtained the plating book from Ken Kershaw via the BNAPS so I am off a good start. |

Was the same plate used for imperforate and perforated stamps? Is there a way others can help you? Trade you copies of the stamp for your extra, similar stamps? I am sure you have extras. Is the plating book a PDF? |
