GREENSBURGH AND NEW CASTLE INDIANA 1850S FLIPPED WRAPPER - COURT AND SHERIFF From the dates on the postmarks, it appears the sheriff of Greensburgh sent some documents to the clerk of the Boon Circuit court in Lebanon Indiana. The clerk then sent either the documents or some other missive back to the sheriff from New Castle flipping and using the same outside wrapper. Two full and clear postmarks. Probably unique. |

CUBA: RARE MARCOS MORALES 1874 "CUBA LIBRA" MISPRINT SET OF FIVE MINT STAMPS The rare "Cuba Libra" imperforate stamps of 1874 MINT, never hinged. These stamps were issued in 1874 by order of Marcos Morales, leader of the Cuban Junta in Philadelphia, that was fighting for Cuba's independence from Spain. It was the first time that the Cuban flag would appear on a "postage" stamp. They were issued for the purpose of raising funds for the revolution. However, the stamps were never used because there was an error in the spelling and the intended "Cuba Libre" (Cuba Free) was misspelled as "Cuba Libra" (Cuba Pound). Stamps are mint never hinged and the gum is very lightly toned and winkled as is common for the issue. Exceptionally well cut margins all around, which is rare for these stamps. Not listed in either Scott, EDIFIL or the J. L. Guerra catalogues. |
