I'm fairly new to these issues. Apparently, some values are found both in the 1870-89 issue (Montreal and Ottawa printings) and in the 1888-97 issue (Ottawa printing only). Distinguishing by color is difficult. Scott relies on gum, but none of my thirty examples has gum. Can anyone suggest other ways to tell these issues apart?
Experienced stamps need a home too. I'd rather have an example that is imperfect than no example. I collect for enjoyment, not investment. APS Member #223433 Postmark Collectors Club Member #6333 Meter Stamp Society Member #1409
