scanner.

looks like someone has clipped the perforations but why would anybody
do that? There is an 18b imperf. Pair listing. No value for one stamp
or a cancelled one.

This item is suspect. #18 was a green stamp. (yours looks black)
Could be a photo or photocopy.or cut from a philatelic souvenir?
genuine #18

There were 3.5 million copies of #18 green printed - perforated.
There are only 100 imperf green stamps known. in MINT condition.
Any imperf stamp should have a certificate.
There are trial colour proofs in blue, orange, black etc... ,
but they are mint and overprinted specimen.
A genuine black trial proof ys Canada Specialized 18TCix .
It catalogues $600 and would need a certificate.
