This new set of definitives replaced the low-value Berries first seen in August 1992. Some notable observations: the 9c value is Canada's first ever in this denomination the pre-issue photo for the 10c value included an error of spelling in the inscription (Artisitic). Will any of these "errors" appear on the market?

There is NO difference between Field and Philatelic stock - all panes have imprints in all four corners. The barcode issues (1c, 2c, 4c, 5c, 10c, 25c) have a barcode in either the top or bottom imperforate selvedge in columns 5 and 6. The first two printings of each stamp have perforated top and bottom selvedges. Thus, corner plate inscription blocks of 4 are different for all printings. The date shown is the date of issue of that specific variety. A "blank" means the item does not exist.

However, the post office clerk where these were purchased had already broken the pane into blocks of 10 and, using scissors, cut down between each imperforate stamp.
