University of Coimbra


A really interesting card, mainly because of the error that occurred during the cancellation of this card! If you look at the stamp it is uncanceled ,but when you look at the front part of the card you notice a cancellation mark! Errors like this don't usual happen. I guess the card was not the right way up when the machine was supposed cancel the stamps! Cool!!




Thank you Kel for sending this card ...oh and thanks to the Portuguese postal service for making the mistake!lol!!
