re: Cuba #226-Real ,error or forgery?
You could list it on feebay as a "RARE- Unlisted Variety" and ask for $1,000,000,000. Type up a hole bunch crap with links to Wikipedia that amount to nothing, charge $45000.00 shipping to cover insurance but only accept Western Union or Money Gram.. Paypal available but please add $700,000.00 to cover the additional charges and then end it-Please Serious Inquires Only .........

Not if you describe it as a rare US 2¢ overprinted from a rare county in Nebraska/Kansas and use the Krause number #174.

re: Cuba #226-Real ,error or forgery?
I'm not in Hades but close I'm Chiraq ( Chicago/Iraq there's more shootings here than Baghdad)and its pretty darn cold here for June. Its been 7 years for me no buying or selling on the dark side.
Just the question I wanted to ask since Cuba is getting diplomatic recognition, (criminals and all how great the USA recognizes what INTERPOL wouldn't let cross a border). Following the Spanish American War President Wm. McKinley he had more territory transferred to him from Spain with the least of his efforts, George Washington stamps were overprinted for CUBA. The current Pres. Grant stamp was overprinted for Puerto Rico. Can anyone name what was done for stamps then in the Philippines??
Many U.S. definitives were overprinted "PHILIPPINES" between 1899 and 1904. Starting in 1906 and continuing through liberation from the Japanese in 1944, Philippines stamps looked a great deal like American stamps, and until 1944 they were printed by both the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing and by the Philippine Bureau of Printing. Some of the regular issue of 1906 pictured Americans, including George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, President McKinley and Admiral Dewey. Here's a cover franked with one of the overprinted stamps:
I'm not at all sure what dnamark's point is when he writes, "USA recognizes what INTERPOL wouldn't let cross a border". When has the U.S. ever failed to recognize any nation if it's in its best economic interests to do so? From 1954 through the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, the U.S. supported the government of South Vietnam even though its leaders had little in mind but their own wealth and power. If nations refused to offer diplomatic recognition to other nations because of criminal elements within their borders, there would be nothing approaching diplomacy — or freedom — anywhere on the planet!
