FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE SET OF THE "PUERTO RICO" SPECIAL PRINTINGS. ONLY 100 SETS WERE PRODUCED

In 1900 one pane of 100 stamps of each was prepared for display at the Paris and Pan-American Expositions. The 5c, 8c and 10c were never regularly issued with the "Puerto Rico" spelling and so are only known as Special Printings. Many were destroyed after the exhibitions. This set lacks the "Specimen" handstamps.

Each with 1997 and 2002 P.F. certificates
