This particular set has a couple of interesting varieties: the 75c shows an over-inking of the plate at the base of the stamp and the 3b value is misperfed. 20,000 sets printed. The 10b high value is MNH. All others are between LM Mint and VLM Mint, a few with small hinge remnants. Note that this set is missing the 15c grey-black value.$75.00

This is a curious issue, always sold as a 1906 provisional issue but actually unofficially produced in 1915 by a Venezuelan tailor. The 10c value is printed on pink/red paper and signed N. Cardenas (the agent of the San Cristobal post office in 1906) “There are no stamps”. Couple of pinpoint paper disturbances.$90.00

Small rust spot on the bottom right example.
