double-circle datestamp on blue folded cover to CARGENTINA, Buenos Aires, 1862, 2p Blue (13). Huge margins to clear, showing part of adjoining stamp at bottom, used with Argentine Republic, 1863, 5c Rose (7C), both tied by "Buenos Ayres 2 AGO 65" double-circle datestamp on blue folded cover to Corrientes

VERY FINE. AN ATTRACTIVE AND SCARCE FRANKING COMBINING THE BUENOS AIRES "CABECITAS" AND ARGENTINE REPUBLIC ISSUES.

Due to the shortage of "Escuditos" 10c stamps, the use of "Cabecitas", which are denominated in Pesos, was allowed from June 1863 to January 1864. One Peso was equivalent to 5 centavos.

Stampless Covers: 42 (including a few documents and fronts only), almost all from Republic Period (1825-67), nice range of straightlines, fancy and pictorial markings including "Oruro Franca" oval and leaf, "Santa Cruz Franca" oval and eagle, spectacular "Cochabamba" ornately framed straightline, "Potosi Franca" with eagle, "Chayanta Franca" with figure of man, and "Correos de la Chimba/Bolivia" illustrated ship oval, condition generally excellent,

1868-69 Coat of Arms 9-Stars and 11-Stars, 1878 Arms and "The Law", 1887-94 Coat of Arms Issues (Scott 10-46): Hundreds of proofs, stamps and covers, a wonderful specialized collection including one 500c 9-Star (No. 14, Scott value $1,000.00) and two 500c 11-Star (No. 19, Scott value $3,500.00 each), ten 9-Star covers and 14 11-Star covers including bisects, two 1868 Allegory of Justice postal usages, Arms and "The Law" bisect covers, 1893 imperforate varieties,

Later Issues and Air Post: Specialized collection including a plethora of philatelically-inspired varieties, such as inverts, inverted surcharges, "Muestra" and proofs, the rarest stamp is 1911 20c on 2c Villa Bella provisional surcharge (No. 97, Scott value $2,500.00, with Friedl certificate), nice group of Air Post including 1925 Junkers Flight "Sucre" overprints (6 unused, 2 pieces, one with inverted overprint), 1930 Air Post overprint varieties including a set of inverts,

Overall condition is excellent, with many Very Fine or better stamps and covers throughout. A wonderful opportunity to acquire a significant collection of this philatelically-rich South American country, including six Condor Issue covers, which alone would fetch $15,000 to $20,000 if offered individually. We strongly recommend careful examination (a PDF of the album pages is available at our website) (Image)
