It is a chemical changeling, colloquially known as the "muddy waters".

I don't have the cat., could you provide the information for me?

All it says about this is: " The so called muddy water variety is a chemical changeling caused by oxidation and is NOT a printing variety". The catalog doesn't recognize this as a variety and also is the same with varieties caused by colour shifts.

Often I confused with your posting, this is one of them.
When you said "The catalog doesn't recognize this as a variety and also is the same with varieties caused by colour shifts." my problem is the part that says "color shifts" are you talking about the stamp in question or some other stamp(s)?
Do you happen to know if the stamp in question is flat press printed or so other way?
I think this stamps if flat press printed might be in my wheelhouse interest, thank you

Sorry if I confused you!! All I'm saying is that oxidization of stamps does not produce a variety according to Unitrade and colour shifts don't produce a variety either. I'm not necessary talking about the same stamp even though this stamp does seem to have a small colour shift.
As to flat or rotary press printing of early Canada stamps I have no idea but I'll check it out tomorrow morning and let you know.
EDIT: Got into this a bit, still time to go to bed, and found an excellent article on the production of early Canadian stamps. The easiest thing to do is click on it and read it. It explains the process much better than I could! https://flyspecker.com/CPV101-Intaglio.h ...
You'd think I would read the damn Unitrade!

This stamp has very odd coloring. I have another with similar colors.
Any explanations from the group?
