Exceptionally well centered and VF Jumbo margin mint no gum example of the 1890 issue 3c slate Victoria, on red tinted paper. This was caused by shipwreck seawater soaking the shipment of stamps while on the way to delivery in Newfoundland, the red colouring from the packaging staining the stamps. Needless to say, these almost always come no gum (sometimes traces of OG are found). 2018 Unitrade lists this stamp at $75.00 but it is actually much scarcer (especially in this grade) than the catalogue value would suggest.
