Sc12-14	Addressed to Ronda, Spain 9 November 1863 Parrilla and Manila - Star Departure Cancellations Soler y Llach Auction - October 20, 1992 (Lot 1021) Doubtful status and possibly a forged cover. 20c was the single weight overseas rate to Spain so the 5c rate (single weight domestic rate) does not make sense on this cover. Also, very few covers are known with stamps applied inverted.

Uncancelled or Pen Cancelled Covers

Many of the provincial towns did not use cancellers, evident from many covers only tied with receiving cancels. In a few cases, both the source and destination towns did not apply a cancel thus the stamp remained un-cancelled or had a manuscript (pen) cancel applied.
