Canadian Varieties - Overview
Varieties are found in all six stamps of the 1935 Silver Jubilee issue. They occur most frequently in the 1 cent stamp. The 3 cent stamp has the fewest number of identified varieties even though twice as many (60,000,000) were printed compared to the 1 cent.
Most authors describe major and minor varieties. They have also used a system of indicating the particular stamp by a number. I have not made these distinctions. Varieties are described according to the Plate number, the sheet location on the plate and by Row and Column number.
Sources:
I have consolidated the listings identified by the below people into a single list. The bulk of the information comes from the book by Hans Reiche. A special thanks to Don Wilson of the Saskatoon Centrewho provided me with most of the scans.
Bond, RA. The Canadian Silver Jubilees. Earl H. Vincent. Acton, Ontario. 1954
Reiche, H. Canada: Steel engraved constant plate varieties. Unitrade Pres, Toronto 1982.

(Note: In some instances the variety is hard to see - in these instances a second picture is included with the variety highlighted)
