Canada Stamp #4 - Beaver (1852) 3d

Rare horizontal pair of the imperforated three pence beaver, thin wove paper (0.002") with orange red shade (#4d), light and scarcer BLUE seven ring target cancellations, frame of an adjacent stamp visible at lower left, a great item for the specialized collector of Canadian classics!

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!

Light pen cancellation, almost has an unused look and two huge jumbo margins for this issue!

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!

Orange red on thin paper (#4d), four ample margins, very scarcely so spacious on each side and discreet grid cancellation for the issue, a great example of three pence beaver!
