At the time of its release, there was no word that this stamp was the start of a "new" definitive series. However, by the end of the year, all of this changed... The postal rate increase from 45c to 46c (and other rates) provided the proof that a new series of stamps was underway, with the addition of 4 new values. Some notable observations: the 45c and 46c ATM stamps were only available from selected Automated Teller Machines in southern Ontario (and the philatelic centre in Antigonish) the 45c coil has simulated perfs the medium-values (55c-95c) are in a smaller-size format, compared with previous medium-value definitive series as with all Canadian stamps, the plate inscriptions are found in each of the four corners of philatelic stock (field stock has the inscriptions removed). It is of interest that the 55c, 73c, and 95c Leaf panes have a subtle difference in the lower left corner compared to the other corners: the line spacing of the inscription is narrower on the LL inscription: Checklist   ATM Pane of 18 Coil Roll of 100 Sheet Pane of 50 Booklet Pane of 5   Self-adhesive Water Activated   Avery Ashton-Potter   Imperf Simulated Perf 13x13 1/3 First-class rate: 45c Leaf (study tip article) Apr 14/98 Sep 30/98     46c Leaf Dec 28/98       Medium-value: 55c Leaf     Dec 28/98 Dec 28/98 73c Leaf     Dec 28/98   95c Leaf     Dec 28/98 Dec 28/98 A 46c Leaf coil was announced early in 1999 by Canada Post - it was never released.
