    Mexico City 1 r. black on green, two single examples with District overprint, pasted over two un-overprinted examples (lifted for checking and hinged back into place), and then cancelled by FRANCO / MEXICO datestamps and mailed to Puebla. A fascinating cover - presumably an alert Postal Clerk noticed the possible fraud and required the sender to purchase two correctly overprinted examples prior to posting. A fine and most unusual attempted Postal Fraud cover. Cert. Mepsi (1988).
    Starting bid : 400 CHF
