Panama, Colombia 1895, Registration, 10c deep brown on rose buff, blue "2108" handstamp, used with Panama 1892 10c orange, tied by "Panama, 13 Mar 1901" duplex on cover front to Bogota, pencil "30 gs", apparently reweighed at destination post office and found overweight, Columbia 1892 1p blue (157) tied by blue "Bogota, Abr 19 1901" oval datestamp for postage due, Very Fine and rare postage due registered use. Scott No. Colombia F11 + Panama 18  Estimate $300 - 400. Colombia did not issue postage due stamps. Regular postage stamps were used to show payment of postage due. Since registered letters were processed in person at the post office, it is unusual to find a registered letter with postage due. The 10c franking was sufficient for a domestic letter weighing 15-30 grams, but was apparently reweighed and an additional 5c postage was due. Because of the inflation caused by the Civil War, the addressee was charged 1 peso for the 5 centavos due. $0 (Image)
