Hi all
A couple of things caught my eye with this, line below N in pence, and secondly above beavers tale appears to be a smiley face?

That smiley face is the sun. You may need to get outside more. This beaver design appeared on four of Canada's earliest stamps. There are also many known re-entries to be found all around the image.

This is the 3d Beaver. It shows the "Railroad Tracks" flaw on position 31 of Pane A.

Sir Sandford Fleming must have had a good sense of humour to put the smiley face on the sun. And a lot of foresight to depict a beaver for Canada's emblem, rather than the queen. I wonder if she approved...
