I am adding
this item to this section primarily because on how the lot is described
or rather falsely described. For those not familiar with Philippine Revolutionary
issues the description "VERY RARE" is a clear case of misrepresentation
on the part of the seller.
First and
foremost:
IT IS SCARCE BUT DEFINITELY NOT RARE. The adove mint and
used examples should prove my point. In my lifetime I must have
handled more than fifty documents with #Y2 imperfs not just in pairs but
in strips of up to 10 and some with the first or last stamp bisected for
the 1 cent + 24c (2c x 12 pcs) for the basic 25c revenue fee
charged on such documents.
Second:
One very important detail was left out: THE STAMP USED AS REVENUE
and there is a big difference between used postally and revenue usage. |
