Clearly a cancel IMO

Looks like a very light cancel. Nice find! In another thread, the posters are saying that mint only refers to unused, unhinged stamps. I've always liked the mint used designation. To me, this describes a very lightly canceled stamp with no gum. I would rather have this really nice copy versus one unused.

Yes, very nice, but the term mint applies to a pristine stamp
justg at as it came from the printer. (the mint.) At least, that
is the agreed explanation since I first began collecting postage.
Since it is your stamp you can call it what you wish, however a
purchaser might complain about the scalloped edges.

CDJ....what's with the scalloped edges comment? Seems just a bit uncalled for. I was looking for some thoughts from others..that's all. People have given me that. The very clear dual lines through me off. So...it's used. I'm fine with that, and will describe it as such in my store. I go out of my way not to misdescribe my stamp offerings.

This stamp has no gum, but looked unused. I noticed a line above the frame ( see above "DA P") and thinking this might be a cancel I put my magnifier to it. Instead of a single line, it is actually two fine lines with the space between them diminishing from "CANADA" to the "O of POSTAGE. Seems almost too fine to be a cancel.
Anyone have any thoughts?
