EXTREMELY FINE. THE PAIR ON THIS COVER AND THE PAIR ON PIECE IN THIS COLLECTION ARE THE ONLY RECORDED CANCELLED MULTIPLES OF THE ONE-PESO "IN PS" BROWN. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING BARQUITOS ISSUE COVERS EXTANT.

As previously noted, the One-peso "In Ps" Brown is a rare stamp on cover. Multiples on or off cover are exceedingly rare, and, to the best of our knowledge, all three are contained in the Islander collection. They are the pair on piece (lot 79), this pair on cover, and the uncancelled pair on the cover in lot 80 (the only reported "unused" multiple).

Ex Dale-Lichtenstein and Boker (where this cover realized DM 12,000 in 1979)
