I just received these yesterday and thought I'd show them off. Anyone have the Scott numbers by any chance?
(I can supply perfs, watermarks and types upon request.)

What I collect: If I have a catalogue for it, I collect it. And I have many catalogues ....

These stamps are fairly straightforward, not too many different things are listed (unlike the old US stamps, which sometimes take me forever to correctly identify ...). The 1c green is Puerto Rico #210, he 2c red "PORTO" is #211 and the 2c "PUERTO" is #216. All of them are listed at $2 or less in my older 2009 US Specialized.
The "PORTO" 1c, 2c and 8c stamps come in a variety with the overprint angled less steeply, which must have been fairly common because they're only a bit more pricey. There are also a few typesetting errors (or perhaps broken type errors), "PURTO" and "PORTU" and "RICU" and so on.

Why thank you Ryan! I have at least one of every small bank note and variety except these until now. I do have a 5ยข on cover/postcard stuffed someplace but no singles but these. Now I can keep an eye out for the rest! Thanks again! -Jeff
