Colour shifts on this stamp are very, very common. Particularly one of only 1mm.

Here are a couple of more pronounced shifts (left/right, and up/down):



Any multi-colour stamp will have colour shifts of varying degrees. The Unitrade catalogue does not list any of these because of how common (and normal) they are.

UnitradeEditor: Your examples also show two color varieties
Your examples are extreme which you rarely see. My high and low Canada examples are both common and easily found.

The two colour shift images I posted were scanned by two different people, likely using two different brands/models of scanners. The shades of the colours cannot be compared as being accurate.

This $2 stamp, in addition to many colour shifts, also has many colour shades. Any multi-colour stamp will exist with shades.

As noted previously, the Unitrade catalogue does not list any of these shades (or shifts) because of how common (and normal) they are.

My used 727s definitely have a variety of shades in the offset/litho colours.



Same here below comparing a mint with a used.
Scanned together on glass.

Dear Timm,
727 and 727v are different stamps check the gum.
Check gum for Harrison paper - its greenish.
