AN
ATTRACTIVE AND RARE MULTIPLE OF THE 1959 5¢ ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY ISSUE WITH CENTER INVERTED.
The known 5¢ St. Lawrence Seaway inverts are believed to come from two sheets of 200. Of these, over 100 where found in postal stock and
return to Ottawa for destructions. The remaining examples were released to the public leaving a small number of used examples (with 16 on cover usages known) and about 200 mint examples. Very few multiples are still existence. (Image1) |

Canada, 1959, 5¢ St. Lawrence Seaway, center inverted. Tied on small piece by wavy line machine cancel, exceptional centering and margins, rich bright colors, Extremely Fine, an especially
choice used example, with 1969 B.P.A. 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) |
