San Martin cover to Spain

I just received this cover.





The 10c is type II, but makes me think that there are typr I's with a variant.

The Hardebeck correspondence

A wonderful selection of these high value philatelic covers is being auctioned on ebay. I have gotten bid out of most of them, yet will have a representative sample (I hope!) when all are finally sold. The covers bear the high values, mostly the 2 pesos and 5 pesos, and at least one with a 10 pesos value. The rates don't match correct rates, as is to be expected for a philatelic use. Without knowing the weight of this specific cover, it is likely the correct rate was 15 centavos with registration or ceritification fees in multiples of 50 centavos or 1 peso, and not 4 pesos.



I can't tell the watermark from this image, but this should be a 1E1 printing. The 1 peso without boundaries was issued February 1, 1937.



For the two pesos I clearly see the watermark and this is indeed a 2p1E1.





Here is a second cover from this correspondence, this time with a pair of 1pL, one with the "long scratch across Argentina map," a celebrated and very rare plate variety.





The left stamp has a plate variety.



The right stamp is the "long scratch across Argentina map" plate variety.





The 2 pesos has to be 1E1 because this was the only paper in use in early 1936.





Here is a normal postal use from the same era to the same country, and it is a 1.35 pesos rate.

This small selection shows some of the typical postmarks for MG and a few overprint varieties.

(DEPOF) 10cMG Type III

This type is uncommon on the 10c MG, perhaps even less common than the Type I.



The Type III has a small dash left middle of the white area on Rivadavia's chest.



The right stamp on the second row is a common plate variety.
