DC-8a $1 1.6.1878 PMG Very Fine 20. The scarcer Scalloped Border is seen on this evenly circulated "Payable at Montreal" example featuring the portrait of Countess of Dufferin on the front and the Great Seal of Canada on the back. Bold inks, strong signatures, and a full border design are visible on this early 1878 issue. A lone finer example has passed through our auctions, an EF-AU that sold for more than $9,000 in 2006. This piece is as lovely as most will ever have the opportunity to buy with a catalog price of $4,500 in VF. From the Yuri Solovey Collection of Canada HID08701242017
Estimate: 4000-5000 USD
