For the specialist: In 1905 the unsurcharged stamps of value 1 c, 2 c, 5 c and 10 c were re-issued in slightly different designs. The 1 c has the label with 'CENTAVO' with rounded edges, instead of with straight edges.
The different types of the values 1 c, 2 c, 5 c and 10 c (there is only 1 type of the 3 c):
1 c: In type I the shading behind 'CENTAVO' ends straight to the
left of the 'C' and the right of the 'O'. In type II it is shaped
with arcs.
2 c: In type I there are leafs coming out of the bottom of the ellipse containing the '2', these are missing in type II
5 c: In type II, in the label with 'CUBA' there are two small
dots in the upper left of the label (near 'C') and in the upper
right (near 'A') which are absent in Type I.
10 c: The line around 'CUBA' is different for the two types; left
and right there is a small extension in Type II (near the outer
border).
I have seen the 10 c value cancelled with a small circle with a 'T' in the center (telegraphic use).
Typical cancels:
(Oval consisting of bars and 4 concentric circles)
10 c orange (inscription 'Immediata') 10 c orange (inscription 'Inmediata', 1902)
