ERRORS AND VARIETIES: 1902-1958.<br />
ERRORES Y VARIEDADES: 1902-1958.<br />
Silvia Garcia-Frutos.<br />
Estos tipos de sellos son ampliamente conocidos por los<br />
coleccionistas aunque no son reconocidos en todos los catálogos.<br />
En este breve artículo iremos presentando y describiendo en orden<br />
cronológico la variedad o error que deben de buscar en cada sello.<br />
Debemos adelantar que los sellos sobrecargados o<br />
habilitados tienen una mayor incidencia de variedades y errores<br />
por la cantidad de factores que coinciden en la preparación de los<br />
mismos.<br />
Tomamos el catálogo Scott solamente como guía para<br />
facilitar su identificación. Cuando aparece la abreviatura UNL.<br />
significa que este último catálogo no lista el error o variedad<br />
aunque en raros casos se menciona su existencia. Ojalá que en un<br />
futuro rectifique ese “error” que están cometiendo en su conocida<br />
publicación. El catálogo EDIFIL incluye casi todos los errores y<br />
variedades que se han descrito en los sellos de la República.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se types of stamps are widely known by<br />
collectors although not all catalogs recognize them. In this<br />
brief article we will present and describe in chronological<br />
sequence each stamp’s variety or error.<br />
We should say that overprinted or surcharged<br />
stamps have a higher incidence of varieties and errors due to<br />
the number of factors that take place in their production.<br />
We refer to the Scott catalog only as a guide to<br />
facilitate the stamps’ identification. We use the abbreviation<br />
UNL. to indicate that the Scott catalog does not list the error<br />
or variety although in some rare cases their existence is<br />
mentioned. It would be nice if in the not so distant future this<br />
well known publication would correct this “error.” <strong>The</strong><br />
EDIFIL catalog includes almost all the errors and varieties<br />
that have been described in the stamps of the Republic.<br />
