This is the lowest value of the series. There are several printings of this stamp, as shown below. The stamp below left is from the earliest printing. The plate is clean and the design is crisp. The stamp below right is a reddish purple, and the impression is not as clear. Here are quick links to the 1/2 Centavo issue pages: 05c1E / 05cNGR / 05cNOP / 05c2 |
