SPANISH ERA STAMPS & COVERS

12.	Scott 1 FORGERY. Used. 1854 Queen Isabella 5c Orange. Good colour with four good excellent margins, all clear of frame lines. A very dangerous forgery with a well-executed bogus Baeza circular date stamp that has a consistent date of 16 January 1851 (over two years before the genuine stamps were issued).

13.	Scott 2. Used. 1854 Queen Isabella 10c Carmine. Fresh, vibrant colour with three very good margins, a little tight on left but clear of frame line. Parrilla cancel not detracting overall appearance of this very fine looking stamp. Position 27. Scott Cat $250.	SB - $150 FP - $180
14.	Scott 8. Used. 1856 Queen Isabella 1r Green. Fresh colour with three good margins, tight on bottom but just clearing frame line. Scarce Cavite / Luzon Circular Date stamp.

16.	Scott 8 COVER. 1863 Cover from Manila to Cadiz, Spain, via Gibraltar. Dateline: Lingayen 25 October 1863.

Algeciras (9 January 1864) Transit and Cadiz (10 January 1864) Receiving circular date backstamps. A nice overall looking cover. Sold As Is.

Stamp tied with Manila (31 June 1861) Small black Baeza departure circular date stamp.
