Canada Stamp #33 - Queen Victoria (1868) 3¢

Laid paper

Superb very light circular date cancellation, extremely scarcely seen on the three cents Large Queen on laid paper! Excellent centring for the issue, prominent horizontal stripes on the back (from the laid paper), some expertly repaired perforations, certified genuine by AIEP!

Very rare three cents Large Queen on laid paper, scarcely seen so well preserved! Well clear of the perforations on every side, clean two ring cancellation, prominent horizontal stripes on the back (the main characteristic of this paper type), a superior example of this stamp in every regard!

Centring remarkably above average for this issue, very prominent horizontal stripes on the back (the characteristic of laid paper), very nice "face free" two ring cancellation! Very well dissimulated cut in the centre of the left margin (viewed from the back), which is unfortunate, but also making this very attractive example of the #33 more affordable!
