At the recent auction of the Danny Cantor Collection, the coloured cancels on pence issues were bid up to very strong realizations. In our last sale, a six penny with red target cancel sold for $3680. Here’s a stamp with similar characteristics which would, in the past, have found a home in the Cantor Collection.
Lot 16, Canada #8 1857 ½d rose Victoria, used with a bold red target cancel, deep colour, very fine. Unitrade C$1,000
