Going through my modest collection looking for errors and oddities (and freaks) I came across an interesting, singular error on the 1977-1982, 17cent, First-Class Definitive #789as.
A rare, double image:

How often these kinds of errors occur in the same printing, I don't know. But I hope and expect someone will comment on it to enlighten us all.
I must say it really looks quite striking!

This is listed in the Canada specialised Unitrade catalogue. It appears to be a booklet single, from Scott # Bk80c Not rare and they did occur quite often hence the lower catalogue value. Still, a very nice example which shows quite well.

Grist for the mill. I don't have the Unitrade Specialized Catalogue to refer to but it doesn't sound as though it's going to pay off my mortgage. What value does it have?

I did a quick search for that catalogue # and found some Canadian dealers are and have sold the whole booklet for about $6. 00 Cdn..

Hi Rodcam,
Thank you very much for this; a most excellent report and one that I would not have found by myself in a million years.
Very interesting to see the value breakdown which perhaps suggests that the stamp will be worth hanging on to. Although a much younger person would probably benefit from that more than me at my advanced age.
Merry Christmas,
Ugruk

Based on that write up, is it really a double printing error, or a color shift creating the optical illusion of a double printing? I suspect that's why the moderate value; color shifts are relatively common, compared with true errors, this one just has a most unusual result.
