Sale 1239, Lot 674, International StampsCANADA, 1959, 5c Seaway Invert (387a; SG 513a). Mint N.H. with left selvage, rich colors on bright paper

VERY FINE AND HIGHLY DESIRABLE EXAMPLE OF THE FAMOUS ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY INVERT.

Approximately 200 unused St. Lawrence Seaway inverts are in private hands. A large percentage of these have some sort of gum malady - some were subsequently hinged, and many have fingerprints or other disturbance due to poor handling from the non-collecting public, who purchased them at post office counters. Pristine Mint Never-Hinged copies such as this are few and far between.

Normal U.S. stamp accompanies. With 2013 Greene Foundation certificate for pair. Scott $9,500.00. SG £9,000. Unitrade C$12,500.00
