    1873 (March 1): Lecoq 'Llamita' 2 c. blue, rouletted horizontally, the extraordinary strip of 40 stamps showing the change in printing orientation from the Lecoq 1 dinero values to vertical, with third stamp shoing Coil Join, 20th stamp, showing Coil Join and the 37th stamp showing Coil Join; thus one in every seventeen stamps received a Coil Join overlap. The strip with two stamps creased for display, minor stains from the full brown original gum with hinge remnants to secure the roulettes, this stamp received coloured cuts to separate the stamps rather than the previous pin indentation holes. The greatest rarity and most important item of the issue (Herbert Moll). A museum piece Scott = $ 2'000+++.rnNote: This value was issued to pay the Local Postage within Lima, decree reducing the rate from 5 to 2 cents dated 1 March 1873.
