SPANISH PHILIPPINES - FIRST ISSUES OF 1854 - 1 REAL, Bright Blue (Position 36)



1-Real Fuerte: RE-ENGRAVED, Worn Coarse Shading
(Scott #4; Edifil #3) Used. Bright Blue. Position 36.



Nice used example of the 1-Real Fuerte value of the Philippines first issues of 1854.  The pen cancellation indicates that this stamp was likely used as a revenue, instead of postally.  The pen cancellation probably cancelled multiple copies of this stamp affixed onto a document.

The Jewel of my Spanish Philippine Collection!

Very Rare!

It is believed that approximately 50 to 75 sheets of the 1 real value of 1854 were printed.  Since the CORROS error only occurs in Position 26 of the forty stamps on each sheet, there can be no more than 50 to 75 stamps with this error possible.
