Lot 740    

Mexico, 1861, Second Issue, 8r green on red brown (Lagos), quadrisect, upper left portion of stamp tied by Lagos straight line cancel (Schatzkes 663) on 1863 folded letter to Guanajuato, letter datelined "Lagos, Julio 12 de 1863"; cover file fold and light soiling, F.-V.F., ex-Schatzkes; signed Aguirre and Calves, with 2017 M.E.P.S.I. certificate (no opinion).
Scott No. 12c; $40,000    Estimate $750 - 1,000.

The current MEPSI certificate reads "The Committee is unable to give an opinion, the 8 reales green on brown was not available for use in Lagos during the time of this letter.". Still, there was a stamp shortage in the summer of 1863 and it is possible that this stamp was brought in from another district and used provisionally during this time. This cover is being offered on its own merits "as is".
