flaws at positions 1 & 25, as well as ''the big crack'' at positions 20, 27, 28 (the clearest) & 29, being the most prominent common primary characteristic of the three values, also including the secondary characteristics
which suggested the theory that the higher value stamps were printed from fresh stones from transfers of the 60c stone, coming from the Bustamante collection, the Sperati forgery has been replaced at position 23, as an optimistic estimation, about
three such reconstructions may have been accomplished, this being in outstanding condition, in spite of some stamps with usual thinnings, or repaired in positions 3, 4, 19, 22, mostly three to four margin singles, some small flaws to be excepted,

involvement or sanction. In this example, the cover was very probably transferred to the post at Buenos Aires for onward transmission to Rosario. (The contents written by the sender -a merchant- mention him to be very busy in that period, which
