Canada Stamp #1 - Beaver (1851) 3d

Laid paper

Very large margined example of the 1st Canadian stamp, the three pence beaver on laid paper. Pen cancellation with a meticulously struck seven ring target cancellation above. The horizontal stripes on the back, characteristic of this type of paper, are easily visible. Also with the orange red shade (#1a). Certified genuine and without fault by AIEP expert Richard Gratton!

Three pence beaver on laid paper with a very unobtrusive cancellation, scarcely seen so light on this issue! Certified genuine and without fault by Vincent Graves Greene, a magnificent classic!

Choice example of the 1st Canadian stamp, prominent horizontal stripes on the back (the main characteristic of laid paper), very rarely seen with four ample margins and a clean seven ring target cancellation, such as in this case!

Outstandingly vivid colour for a three pence beaver on laid paper, well visible horizontal stripes on the back (characteristic of this paper type), four complete margins, very unobtrusive four ring numeral cancellation for the issue, small thin behind the E of POSTAGE, still a very attractive example of this rare stamp!

Three pence beaver on laid paper, very prominent horizontal stripes on the back (characteristic of this paper type), full outer frame almost complete, impressive jumbo margin on the right, typical seven ring target cancellation for the issue, but very cleanly struck and perfectly socked-on-the-nose (centred), certified genuine by AIEP!
