Get a U.S. Postage Due Stamp Overprinted for Use in Puerto Rico
Missing from most collections – US #J1 Postage Due stamp is overprinted “Porto Rico.” However, unlike the #PTJ1 overprinted stamp, #PTJ1a has the overprint applied at a different angle (25º as opposed to the usual 36º), making it an interesting minor variety.
Historic stamp is a direct connection to a time when America emerged as a world power. The US gained control of Puerto Rico after the Spanish-American War. Overprinted U.S. stamps were used for a time in this US territory. The first Puerto Rico overprints – with the inscription “Porto Rico ” – lets us know that this scarce stamp is from the first issue of 1899.
Time has not dulled the beauty of this stamp. However, minor imperfections mean you SAVE substantially off the Scott Catalogue price for a mint stamp. Make it yours.
