Here's an odd one (I think) up for auction right now on KMP (the auction ends in 40 minutes with no bids).
It's 3 Mexican 5c with official over print. But what I can't figure is why bisect 3 stamps, when two of the bisects will equal 1 stamp?

Well, it didn't sell. Starting bid was $19.95. These are just on a piece, not even a complete cover. I think a little suspect, but then I have little to go on. Just seemed a strange practice, to me.

These appear to be strictly philatelic in origin, similar to just about all other 20th-century bisects I've seen (U.K., U.S.).

Hi

I have seen all sorts of weird stuff from Latin America but this one should top the list.
