Lot 1377 — Canada #1701a “Missing Moose”

Canada #1701a 2003 $5 "Missing Moose" Variety, a rare and very dramatic modern error discovered here in Ottawa, shortly after the stamp was issued in 2003. This single is from a pane distributed to a post office in Nova Scotia where the selvedge was removed from a group of about 10 panes and only after this was the error discovered. Removing the selvedge caused irregular perforation and a short thinned perf at lower right. Otherwise the stamp is very fine. Unitrade CV C$7,500.
