CANADA, 1959, 5c Seaway Invert (387a; SG 513a). Unhinged but with slight gum disturbance from a mount, excellent centering, bright colors

VERY FINE EXAMPLE OF THE DESIRABLE CANADA SEAWAY INVERT.

The St. Lawrence Seaway provided for passage from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes. It was a collaboration between the United States and Canada. The Seaway was opened in 1959 with a ceremony led by Queen Elizabeth II and President Eisenhower. Both the United States and Canada issued stamps to commemorate the event. Both stamps have the same basic design, except the Canada stamp has bilingual text at top. The invert is only known on the Canadian stamp.

With clear 1966 P.F. certificate. SG £9,000. Unitrade C$12,500.00
