Canada Stamp #4 - Beaver (1852) 3d

Full margins, orange red on thin oily paper (0.002") with the characteristic coarser printing seen on this paper type (#4iv), magnificent very clean seven ring target cancellation perfectly socked-on-the-nose (centred), light paper wrinkle at lower left (hardly noticeable), a beautiful three pence beaver!

Scarce deep red shade on thick hard paper (0.0038"), superb jumbo sheet margin at bottom, meticulously struck seven ring target cancellation, an excellent variety (#4v) for the specialized pence or beaver collector!

Very rare major re-entry from position 61 of plate B, showing an overall strong doubling in most letters and with a thick line below the lower left "3", exactly as it is depicted in the catalogue (#4xii)! In excellent condition, full outer frame visible, pretty scarcer brown red shade (#4a), a quite light target cancellation for the issue, humongous catalogue value and an exceptional stamp for the specialized pence or beaver collector, extremely scarcely seen on the market!
