image 1868 1c Yellow Orange Large Queen, unused (no gum), exceptionally well centered among large, even margins, extremely fine. Accompanied by a 1983 Philatelic Foundation certificate. The 1c yellow orange has a tendency to be in unsatisfying quality when found in mint or unused condition. The example from the “Outaouais” collection displays exceptional attributes, starting with the centering, but also the full perforation, and the rich shade. A lovely stamp in all respects. (Image)

image 1868 6c Dark Brown Large Queen on Watermarked Paper, with Major Re-Entry, unused (no gum), showing part of one letter of the watermark. The stamp also clearly shows the elements of the major re-entry from plate position 93. Pulled perf at bottom, still with deep rich colour and crisp impression and fine-very fine. This is the only known example of this combination of a watermarked stamp with this major re-entry, a must have for any serious collector. Accompanied by a 2005 Greene Foundation certificate. Finding an unused example of the 6c showing part of the Bothwell paper watermark is a rare occurrence, as there are likely 10 or less in existence. The fact that one example exists with the major re-entry is quite exceptional. (Image)

image 1868 3c Red Large Queen on Laid Paper, unused (regummed) with bright colour, full perforations with pleasant centering, fine. One of Canada's rarest stamps, with fewer than 10 mint or unused examples recorded. In fact, of all the major numbered Canadian stamps, only the #2 and #31 are known in similar small quantities. This stamp is likely the second nicest example, with the original gum example in the Firth collection appearing to being the finest. Ex. Vadeboncoeur. Accompanied by a 2002 APS certificate and a (pink) 2010 Greene Foundation certificate. Rsv. $10,000. (Image)
