1861 SECOND COARSE PRINTING. (x) Venezuela1861 SECOND COARSE PRINTING1861-62, ½r. orange, a striking left sheet-margin
example, mainly large margins on the other sides, tied in transit by "Correos/Nov 4/La Guaira" c.d.s. in black, on entire letter from Puerto Cabello on 31st October 1863 to Caracas. This is the only example recorded on cover of this cancellation in
black, which, in view of the extensive usage of this datestamp, makes this cover an exceptional rarity. The late use of this stamp was the cause of being applied in an exceptional colour for the period in which this issue was mainly used. In
addition. A marginal example on cover increases the rarity factor. Cert. Moorhouse (2011).Provenance:Heister. (Image1)
