Cuba stamps were not recognized since it did not become a member of the U.P.U. until May 1, 1877.

This cover is important because it shows postage due in the 1875 single German currency (1 Mark = 100 pfennings). Since it arrived after the General Postal Union became effective on July 1, 1875, the U.S. transit fee was crossed out. Postage due was 50 pf. Direct Mail rate plus 30 pf US Transit = 80 pfennings (8 sgr in old currency). Est. $2,000-3,000 (Image)

Est. $2,000-3,000

Opening US$ 1,500.00
