Unitrade $ 350

1978 14c Red Parliament Imperforate Coil, a mint never hinged strip of 13, perforated at each end only, leaving 5 completely imperforate pairs (valued as such). Two stamps have a bit of gum loss, and the two outer stamps have very light gum imperfections, still an interesting item. (Image)

Unitrade $ 1,125

1979 17c Green Parliament with Dramatic Pre-Printing Fold, a mint never hinged vertical strip of 5 from top of sheet, with all stamps having a large pre-printing paper fold. A dramatic and very fine item, the first we have handled on this stamp. (Image)

2003 $5 Moose with Dramatic "Misplaced Moose" Variety, a mint never hinged full pane of 4, with all Moose and foliage, etc. engraved colours shifted up by about ¾ inches. Very fine, and as far as we know unique. Accompanied by a 2020 Greene Foundation certificate. One of the most visually striking modern varieties. Different but just as impressive, if not much rarer than the "Missing Moose" variety, both would look great side by side in a collection. (Image)

Est $ 5,000

2003 $5 Moose with Engraved Colours Omitted, a mint never hinged lower right corner single, missing the Moose and foliage, etc. engraved colours, very fine and desirable. Accompanied by a 2020 Greene Foundation certificate. The Moose stamps were printed on sheets with 6 panes of 4 stamps. the stamps are printed first by lithography (background colours, etc.) then by a separate printing pass through an intaglio press, which prints the engraved Moose. The "Missing Moose" error occurs when two of the gummed sheets temporarily adhere together and go through the intaglio press, resulting in a normal sheet on top and a sheet with a faint albino impression (but no ink) on the bottom. One of the most visually striking modern varieties, and arguably more so than the Inverted Seaway. (Image)

Unitrade $ 6,000

Collection of $5 Moose and $8 Grizzly Bear High Value Definitives, the $5 is represented by 7 MNH complete panes, one of which has a strong offset on reverse (Unitrade #1693ii) plus two singles, one of which has a strong offset. Some of the other panes show offsets in varying degrees. One of the panes shows horizontal brown streaks, and 5 of them show the "vertical line between top two stamps" with lower and higher placements, one of which is shifted to the right. Also includes a nice used pane with Etobicoke cancel. The $8 is represented by a nice used pane plus a single tied to card by "We appreciate your business" postmark. The lot also contains some first day covers ($5 x2 and $8) plus one each of the "P" denominated stationery envelopes of the same designs as well as a pane of the $4 value (still in its original packaging) and a parcel wrapper franked with 7x $8 Grizzly Bears plus other stamps. An interesting collecting area. (Image)
