Flaw and doubling in LL. aka 3F1.17

This is a very long-lasting variety from Jun 1875 to March 1882.
The key distinguishing mark is the scratch in the lower left corner and the dots in C, D, P and T of CANADA POSTAGE.
There is also a line below the left 3 on early printings and a line on the upper left corner below the ornament.
These two lines do diminish and fade over the life of the variety.

We use Statser to measure basic website usage without cookies. The system processes page views, clicks, form submissions without form contents, referrers, browser/device information, error pages, approximate visit duration, and pseudonymous visitor keys. Full IP addresses are not stored permanently by Statser; they are processed briefly on the server to create a pseudonymous visitor key, apply technical exclusions, and optionally resolve approximate GeoIP information. If GeoIP is enabled, the IP address is checked locally against a MaxMind GeoLite2 database to determine the approximate country or city. The visitor IP address is not sent to MaxMind. MaxMind is contacted only to download and update the GeoLite2 database. Detailed data is deleted after the configured detail retention period. For long-term trends, Statser also stores aggregated daily values without individual visitor profiles.
