MAJOR RE-ENTRY. VF mint NH example of the 1898 issue 2c Xmas Map, deep blue oceans, showing a major re-entry (but not the Unitrade #86iii which is plate 5, position 91). This particular stamp is according to Ralph Trimble's re-entries.com site, plate Position 2A17. According to Trimble "This stamp shows markings in CANADA POSTAGE, especially notable in the 'T,' doubling of the left cable, both 2's, a series of 'hooks' below the left numeral box, XMAS, and the distinctive column 7 re-entry line in the lower half of "WE HOLD A VASTER EMPIRE THAN HAS BEEN." Very conservatively valued as a regular VFNH #86b by Unitrade. 2023 Unitrade =
