EXTREMELY FINE. AN INCALCULABLY RARE COMBINATION OF THE ENGRAVED AND LITHOGRAPHED ISSUES ON THE SAME COVER.
In 1854 the 5c stamps were printed by Gillet in Santiago from the engraved plates and from lithographic stones. However, the two different printings are rarely seen used together. On this cover, the Lithograph was probably applied first, then at a later point (at the post office?) the engraved stamp was applied for the ship rate. (Image)
