Lot 430 Canada #901i 15c Multicoloured Christmas Trees, 1981 Christmas Issue, A VFNH Single, Downward Shift of Yellow, LF3/LF4 Paper

A VFNH single of the 15c multicoloured Christmas Trees from the 1981 Christmas Issue. Downward shift of yellow, LF3/LF4 Paper. The frame normally appears as a solid red line. But, this example shows that it is actually a red line on top of a yellow line. The yellow has been shifted downward slightly revealing itself. This is the only example I have seen to date.
