Canada 8a

1858 Half penny rose on soft horizontally ribbed paper, imperforate, a striking example of this distinctive paper type. Barely touching outer frameline at foot showing large portion of (Rawdon), Wright, Hatch & Edson, New Yo(rk) imprint at top, unused, small edge flaws barely discernible; nevertheless, a rare printing / plate imprint combination of which very few exist in any condition, Fine (Unitrade 8a; cat. $7,000+)

Remarkably, this stamp shows a Strong Re-entry (Position 10 in the plate of 120 subjects) with doubling visible in "CAN" of CANADA and in "O" of ONE, among other traits.
