No cancel is visible on the front, so this appears to be an unused / mint example (or possibly very lightly canceled and cleaned, though it looks unused).Condition notesCentering is average to slightly off (common for the issue). Perforations are complete. There is some toning and paper disturbance on the reverse. Overall a collectible example of a classic Canadian stamp.Value (2026 market)Scott #35 is a common stamp in the Small Queen series.Used: Typically $1 – $5.Mint / unused (hinged or with gum issues, as this one appears): Usually $10 – $40, depending on centering, gum condition, and shade.Better centered, never-hinged examples with fresh color command higher prices (catalog values for nice mint are often in the $40–$80+ range depending on the edition).Your stamp is a solid, genuine example of Scott #35. It is not a rare variety, but it is a classic 19th-century Canadian issue
