Our census of Scott 423D, available at http://siegelauctions.com/dynamic/census/423D/423D.pdf , contains 41 stamps. All are used. Only four do not have precancels, including one which has never been certified and one which has not been seen in a very long time (it has P.F. certificate no. 8701). Therefore, this is one of two confirmed sound examples of this issue without a precancel.
Census No. 423D-CAN-09. With 1999 P.F. certificate.
