Peru Set Ayacucho (1872-1873) I Founded Im Wondering Help ID

Hello, I found this Set of Stamps very saver in special paper from a inhirate collection , they are mint says ¨Ayacucho¨ and some are together like sets.

I dont know anything about this set, but seems to have been very good treated and saved.

Please help to identify

Hi kinetic2012

The best that I can determine is that Ayacucho stamps were a provisonal issue. Therefore, they are not listed in any of the catalogs I have. You probably need a specialized Peruvian catalog to get a value.

Since you are in Lima check with a local dealer or stamp club.

Maybe it was a local revenue issue?

Can you tell us what is says on the original stamps?

Chilean occupation of Peru I believe. Not sure what catalog has it listed though.

Hi stallzer,

Aren't the dates too early for that?

The War of the Pacific was 1879 -1883.

*Edit*

Just noticed the 1872 - 1873 dates and now get your point Nigel. Forgot that I can increase the image size in Firefox with the + key.

Then I would have to guess a Moquegua Province revenue.

Hello !,

Thanks for the Answers, yes I have being looking and I think is a (AYACUCHO Peru (overprint) – provisional issues for Ayacucho).

Im wondering what is this:
* MINT SET or BLOCK ?
* How Much can Value Aprox ?

Hi kinetic2012,

Could you tell us please what it says on the original yellow stamps? It would be helpful to know if it refers to taxation or postal services ("correos") or something else.

A larger scan of one of the individual stamps would help immensely.

They are part of this series of Peru Revenue stamps:

Interesting items, I think!

Well done Kurt! I agree that they're an interesting group.

"Thank You, thankyouverymuch"

* What can be a FAIR VALUE for a SET like this ?
* Whats the Right Name, Block , Platebblock ?

Thank You

The correct term is one that describes an item exactly.

You have a Block of Fifteen and a Block of Eight.
It looks better when you write the word out instead of using numerals.


They are Not plate blocks because there is no selvage attached (usually on a corner) with a plate number printed on the selvage (margin).

A fair value would be what someone wants to pay for them really. Cayalogue value, you would need a revenue stamp catalogue (not just a stamp catalogue) for Peru, or get an idea from an online dealer in these, or ebay perhaps, or Delcampe. This is because revenue catalogues are not as common as regular stamp catalohues.
