Stamp Chat - Canal Zone Overprints on Stamps of Panama and the United States

The stamp chat will look at collecting postage stamps, postal history, and picture postcards from the United States Panama Canal Zone. The Taft Agreement will be used as a historical marker to develop a timeline of overprints from Panama and United States used within the Canal Zone. Examples of specialty collecting areas will be shared as the program moves through the timeline. This will serve as a primer to start collecting Canal Zone or a jumping point to dig deeper into Canal Zone specialties.

The questions at the end regarding revenues stumped me a bit. I said no, but there were Panama revenues overprinted for use in the Canal Zone on liquor bottle. There was stamps used and meters. A recent article in the Canal Zone Study Group journal looks at the overprinted stamps and an article is in the works for the meters.

During the program a viewer asked the number of stamps issued for the first issue. Stamps delivered: 2c rose 2,600; 5c blue 8,500; 10c yellow 5,250. On Sept 14, 1904 1,004 were destroyed: 5c blue 700 and 10c yellow 304. This leaves totals of 2c rose 2,600; 5c blue 7,800, and 10c yellow 4,946. Reference Canal Zone Stamps 4th edition 2016
