Hello everyone,

I have a regular halfpenny stamp of St.Christopher, 1882-1884 issue, watermark: crown CA, perf: 14.

And it has watermark shift error (see pic #3) .. So im just curious how scarce it is, and are there any in your collections? ...Will appriciate any info about it.

best regards,

Vakhtang Chigogidze

SG list sideways or reversed wm. but not a shift error like this - unless this one is considered a sideways shift? Regret I don't have any for comparison.

What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50

The half penny in my collection is shifted but not as extreme as yours. Excuse the photo quality and bit of hinge remnants. It was heavily hinged with one on top of another that I just spent time on carefully removing as much as I could with out disturbing the glue as it is a mint copy.
