ONE OF ONLY THREE RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THE 1861 8R GREEN ON RED BROWN ISSUE FROM SALTILLO.

The 8r Black on Green were printed in parallel to the 8r Black on Brown to combat the illegal use of splits from six larger districts and sent only to those. However, at the end of the issue, with the central post office in disarray, the small balance of the 8r Green stamps on hand was sent in small amounts to 16 other districts including Saltillo. All those are rarities.
