1897 Gibraltar to Manchester 20c & 10c bisected

1897 Gibraltar to Manchester 20c & 10c bisected

1889-96 Spanish Currency 10c. carmine, bisected and used on 1897 (Dec. 14th) envelope with 20c. just tied by ‘GIBRALTAR’ c.d.s., with handstruck ‘T’ and '’1d/F.B./C.’ due marks, scarce.


Cancelled in Gibraltar, on December 14th 1897, and was rejected as valid and a 1d Postage Due charge was levied. However, if you look closely at the enlargement the cancel just touches the bisect, which does tie it to the cover!
