Canada Covers

First Day Covers "Replacement" Cachet. A original find lot of 12 covers 1966-1969, each with the Canadian Post Office (CPO) "Replacement" illustrated cachet. Although coined "Replacement" cachets (due to their use as replacement FDC for any collector sent in cover damaged in the mail), these are actually diplomatic use covers, sent to Post Office officials in Finland / Sweden. Half of the covers still have the CPO enclosure, describing the issue on which the FDC bears (a major bonus for the "replacement " FDC collectors). The Chung / Narbonne specialized FDC catalogue lists these at $15-$25 each, but they regularly sell for above that level individually online. Estimate =
