According to Canal Zone Stamps, one sheet, consisting of four panes of 50, was printed. Three panes were caught by postal authorities, while the fourth pane of 50 was sent to H. E. Harris & Co. as part of a larger order from the Canal Zone Philatelic Agency. At the same time this error was printed, the U.S. had issued the Dag Hammarskjold error in huge quantities. The Canal Zone authorities made plans to do the same, but were successfully sued by H. E. Harris, and the larger printing never took place. Two of the three other panes were laminated and presented to the National Postal Museum. The third was destroyed. The one pane available was broken up in 1969.

PUERTO RICO, Ponce Provisional, 1898, 5c Violet on Yellowish (200). Original gum, h.r., violet control mark as with all "genuine" unused examples, large margins to ample, vertical crease, the rare Ponce Provisional has historically been one of the great rarities of U.S. Possessions, but in recent years the entire issue has been discredited by a few specialists, which forces us to offer this "as is", with 1978 Friedl certificate
