Lot Sym. Lot Description  
400° nhbl ImageCANADA, 1897, -1/2c-$5.00 Jubilee (50-65; SG 121/140). Complete set of Mint N.H. margin blocks of ten, including 2c, 10c, 15c, 20c, 50c and $5.00 with top imprint and plate no., bright colors, nice centering, very fresh

AN IMPORTANT AND EXCEPTIONAL COMPLETE SET OF THE CANADA 1897 JUBILEE ISSUE IN MARGIN BLOCKS OF TEN, INCLUDING SIX PLATE BLOCKS.

The Diamond Jubilee Issue of 1897 was Canada's first commemorative set. It was also the first issue supplied by the American Bank Note Company, Ottawa. The designs were by Lynwood Pereira and the portraits of the Queen were based on the famous Chalon vignette and the painting by Prof. Von Angeli of Vienna. (Bogg, p. 317). The -1/2c thru 8c values were printed in sheets of 100, while the 10c thru $5.00 values were printed in sheets of 50. Like the Columbian Issue of the United States, a full set of stamps was costly, setting the collector back $16.21-1/2 for a set, or $162.15 for blocks of ten.

Following are formats and condition notes for each of the 16 blocks in the set:

-1/2c Black (50). Right selvage, one stamp with small toned spot on gum
