361 o    387a imageCanada, 1959, 5¢ St. Lawrence Seaway, center inverted. Straight line machine cancel, wide margins, strong bright colors, Very Fine, with 2000 Greene Foundation certificate.
Scott No. 387a; $7,500.

ONE OF THE FEW USED OFF-COVER EXAMPLES OF THE 1959 5¢ ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY WITH CENTER INVERTED.

There are about 200 mint Seaway Inverts in private hands. Quite a few of the Seaway Inverts were actually used by the public before they realized what they had. With only 16 examples recorded on cover, it would seem even a used example would be far rarer than mint however catalog values seem to indicate to the contrary. (Image1)

SG No. 405/13 vars.; Estimate $10,000 - 15,000.

AN EXTREMELY RARE MATCHED SHEET MARGIN SET OF THE 1915 DE LA RUE SEAHORSE IMPRIMATUR SET.

In 1984 and 1985 the National Postal Museum decided to auction a quantity of material they deemed to be duplicated and surplus to requirements. At the time, concerns were raised about selling and that the curators should act as custodians and conservators, retaining all the material in trust for future generations to study and enjoy. The first auction, which took place in April 1984, was restricted to G.B. and G.B. overprinted Colonial issues of the reigns of King Edward VII to King George VI and included regular issues overprinted "Specimen" as well as imperforate imprimaturs.
