I'm going through my Costa Rica stamps and I found this specimen. At first glance, it is a 1910, 10 cent, deep blue, used. Nothing special. However, it appears to have some sort of Overprint that says 10 Cents. I scanned the original and manipulated to try to show the cancellation/overprint a little better. I can't find an overprint of this style in my Scott's. Any ideas?

Guess: subsidiary cancel from a paticular usage eleswhere
or part of a slogan cancel.
Opts used mainly "Cts" or "Centimos"

Part of a lilac cancel ring seems evident.

If you are mounting your costa rica, look for
cork cancellations "monkey face" or "sun god" as I call them.
