Certificate For Stamp

Question


Hello I have this variety we see a faint doubling between two stamp,the crown is obvious because the yellow ornaments are there. Unitrade editor told me I have to send for a certificate. Where can I get this certificate? Is it necessary for this variety?

Hi Elagable78, welcome to the forum. Regarding your stamp, I see that it appears to be a booklet pair and is used and was cancelled. Because the photo was taken with a cell phone or camera at a distance I cannot see any doubling as it gets too grainy when I try to view a blowup. Is it possible it is only a shift of the colors? Or can you scan the stamps and post the picture after croping.

As for certificates in Canada on B.N.A stamps vist the Vincent Graves Green Philatelic Research Foundation. They do issue certificates for Canadian material. Go to www.greenefoundation.ca

Mint not used ; why do you think the pair is used?#128522;

The doubling is the "cancelation" you see the edges of the doubling between the pair and at left of the second stamp....

The pink print is another print at top of the doubling

This is what you are referring to?



What you describe as doubling is what apears to be a secont print of the dark ink, shifted up and slightly to the left. Is that what you see?

I can see a vague outline of the crown.



Give some better descriptions or better images - it will help people work out what they are seeing.

Yes Ringo the yellow ornaments of the crown are there

Elagable78, I took it the stamps were stuck down to the piece, not aware they were mint. So they are full gummed on the back?

As for doubling? I hope you put up an enlarged scanned image, then it will undoubtebly be clear. You keep mentioning the yellow ornaments, are they doubled?

Anyone see any yellow ornaments in the photo? Not me.

Full gum but unfortunately you don t see the yellow ornaments if you check the picture...the pink spot at top of "doubling" is another print ( queen s medals)

We need a good scan..
