1858, Medio Peso Rose Red Error (5). Vertical se-tenant pair, Medio Peso Type A at bottom, One-peseta Type 5 at top, from the same bloc report transfer which has the One-peseta types normally found in the bottom row in the top row, large margins to clear at upper left, bright shade, tied by light strikes of "Admon. Pral de Correos de Tacna 18 Junio 58" circular datestamp on folded letter to Sor. Don Juan de la Cruz Torres in Cochabamba, Bolivia, in perfect condition

EXTREMELY FINE. ONE OF FOUR RECORDED COVERS IN THE BARGHOLTZ CENSUS BEARING THE MEDIO PESO ERROR IN A SE-TENANT MULTIPLE WITH THE ONE-PESETA. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE OF THE FOUR ADDRESSED TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY, AND ONLY THREE OTHER MEDIO PESO ERROR COVERS TO A FOREIGN DESTINATION ARE RECORDED (ALL TO BOLIVIA WITH SINGLES). ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING COVERS OF CLASSIC PERUVIAN PHILATELY.

The se-tenant Medio Peso Error pair on this cover shows the unusual configuration of the bloc report that produced it. The error, Type A, is the first position in the bottom row of the 10-unit bloc report. Normally, the stamp above this position in the bloc report would be Type 10. However, the One-peseta is Type 5, which indicates that Types 5-2-8-6-9 were in the top row of the error bloc report rather than their normal position at the bottom. This means that not only were the five Medio Peso denominations transferred to the stone, but the entire bloc report of ten was uniquely configured with the bottom row positioned at the top and the error transfers at the bottom (see diagram on page 34).
