gmot: Were they mint plate blocks? Ever since these stamps were newly classified as dry (Stickney) rotary press printed rather than dry (Hoe) flat plate press printed interest in them has greatly increased. See https://goscf.com/t/60662
Thanks for the link, interesting. Yes, they were, 2 from plate 1 and one from plate 3, IIRC. Came in a recent auction lot, I kept a mint single for my collection as I don't collect blocks. Perhaps I should have asked more for them :).
Hi all. A question was raised by Wert regarding identifying a used copy. Can I assume that the image would be a mm or so smaller than the dry printing because of shrinkage??
Here is a scan of the page with Canada Scott # 196d: The perforations for # 196d should be 11 1/4 x 11 and not 11 1/4 x 12 as shown. Canada Scott # 196c with inverted surcharge is a non-existing incorrect listing.
