I should clarify. In the 2011 Scott, #252 is salmon and #252a is reddish orange. Color reproduction on monitors is not reliable, so you should examine your stamp and make a decision.
I am not familiar with early Spain, I have this as Scott Type A9 Isabella ll May I have confirmed Sc#38 "green blue" please? I cannot see blue paper, maybe Sc#42? (Wmk not discernible) What is the significance of the "Bar Cancel" Is this postal, or "remainders" ? Thank you.
Willwood, thank you, so the "plata" distinguishes Philippines or Cuba. If mine has a "bar cancel" then I wonder if Cuba used also. I'll have to dig around in my Library for Philippines Catalogue.
Bars are used to indicate obsolescence of these issues. Your stamp can either be Edifil#15 or #16 depending of the number of pearls around that "lady". 94 for the first and 96 for the second. Both stamps were issued in 1863.
