Losnr. : 5625 Peru
1862: Lecoq 1 d. rose, a diagonally bisected example used on 1866 cover from Callao to Lima, tied on arrival by the 'Lima Grid' handstamp in blue-black with framed "LIMA / 7A. / DISTRB.ON" handstamp alongside in same ink. Reverse with 'Lima / M' arrival cds (April 11) in blue. Fresh and fine, a scarce cover. Opinion Holcombe Scott = $ 350.rnrnNote: 1865 (Dec 30). Under a postal decree, letters between Lima, Callao and Chorillos sent after Jan 1, 1866 would be carried at half the normal 10 centavos / 1 dinero inland rate; thus a 5 centavos franking was required. There being no stamps, as yet, to meet this need, the 1 dinero was bisected.rnProvenance: Collection 'Crown Point', Corinphila sale 131, Oct 2001, lot 6949.rnAusruf : 200,00 CHFZuschlag : nicht verkauft
