MeKeel's Weely Stamp News (April 21, 1924), as reprinted in the Philippine Philatelic Journal (1993), stated that Ferrars H. Tows believed that special printings were produced for some of the 1878 through 1882 issues. The stamps were markedly different from the regular printings, with vivid colors, dotted backgrounds (rather than lined), fine impressions, and very white gum. Tows believed that only one or two sheets were printed for the Spanish Royalty. Some stamps may have entered circulation.
