1863 5 CUARTOS USAGE

1863 NOVEMBER 11: MANILA CIRCULATING
Franked with 5 cuartos 1863 vermilion Isabella (#14).

1864: ZAMBALES to BINONDO

5 Cuartos 1863 vermilion Isabella (#14) tied with oval
"ZAMBALES TRIBUNAL DE MASINLOC"
official seal cancel. MANILA / 4 MAR arrival on front.

VERY SCARCE SEAL - POSTMARK ON COVER

Erroneously described by a German auction house (estimate at 5,000 Euros) as only four covers with the said issue and two of the four bearing the Zambales seal - cancel. Previous to the above covers, there are already three on this site with one bearing the Zambales seal cancel. I strongly believe that there are more than 10 covers with this issue and possibly more than five with the Zambales seal cancel.
