Canada 2005 Deer And Walrus

The bar code on my (absolutely the first printing) deer/walrus sheets is: 63491 03495.

Good to ear Peter. That means that there's actually a new bar code.

Hi everyone,

I don`t know if this subject is closed. However, here is how I can identify a single stamp reprint from the original print:

The inscription "Canada" on each stamp has improved considerably. In fact the white specks within the lettering are well defined. On the 1st print, they are not clearly defined.

By the way, I also noticed some minor color shifts on both prints. On some Atlantic Walrus stamps, the wavy lines run closer or through the hidden date "2005".

The UPC bar code has NOT changed.

The 0 63491 03495 4 bar code is for the souvenir sheet; the pane of 16 is 0 63491 02483 2 (for both the original and reprint).

Oh darn!...Petermac was talking about the souvenir sheet. So I still don't know if CP sent me the right pages, and now it's well over the time that I can send it back.

I'll check for the differences that Major1044 was talking about. I really hope it's the reprint. I already sent it back once.

Wow ... and now there is a 3rd issue/2nd reissue! I do have a sheet of each of what CP call as issue #1, #2 & #3 ... all have the same bar-code and ©. A phone call to the Philatelic Service in NS provided an answer to what is the difference issue #2 to #3 "...all that has happened is a slight colour change, no plate # change" So I would guess the 'slight colour change' would be due to a new ink colour batch(es).
Has anyone found a difference? BeeCee, what about scans of the ©2005?

There's more information on the original printing and the two reprints of this issue under the title "reprint of the 1688-1689 walrus/deer" in this Canadian portion of the forum.
