Three Questions About A Canada #17

Visually, no. But logically... that's hard to determine.

I completely agree with txstamp.

What is the logic that you are applying? What do you think the order of cancellation was? Hearing your reasoning would be very educational.

I don't pretend I'm an expert at all, I'm not pretentious. I just wonder why would a stamp be cancelled with an official cancel (the seven round rings) and then cancelled again with a pen cancel? The stamp doesn't need two cancellations if the official one is already clear. (I think)

But because I'm not an expert, I can be wrong. So, if I'm wrong, tell me and I'll understand.

Stamps get multiple markings on them regularly, when transit markings happen to get struck wholly or partially on the stamp in addition to the original killer.

I believe the Canada target cancel is used primarily as a killer, as is the pen cancel here it seems. So the question is why two killer cancels?

Without the full cover, we'll never know. From the image, I don't see anything obviously wrong with either cancel - although the pen one appears lightened. Sometimes that implies that the other cancel (target) was "added"; but my first reaction here, is that's likely not the case.

One thing you notice after seeing a lot of covers is that just about anything that can happen, does. But its nice when you can create a narrative for something like this from a full cover. Without that, we are only speculating.

Thank you really much, txstamp! So, I was wrong. I'm glad I've learned more about that.

My #17 is certainly the "X" flaw position 79. The weak inner frame line I mentioned earlier have exactly the same detail than on the "X" flaw position stamp shown on the flyspecker website. My first #17 stamp have a X flaw, that's nice!
