hello every one thanks for your help but i could not find the date of costarica and the series of elsalvador in the cataloge?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is amazing how much information is contained in the catalog, and, for the most part, the accuracy of the information. However, I routinely find little mistakes and information that is not found in the catalog. For the Costa Rica P236 note, look at the description: b. Date at right center. With watermark and security thread. Error name 7. T. VILLA on back. 1.4.1969; 30.6.1970; 24.5.1971; 8.5.1972 d. Without watermark or security thread. Changed signature titles. 4.5.1973-4.5.1976 e. As d. 24.1.1990-15.1.1992 Notice in the description for "b", the individual dates are separated by a semicolon ";", but the description for "e" has two dates separated by a dash "-" which can certainly be interpreted as 24 Jan 1990 through 15 Jan 1992. For the El Salvador P147 note, it is one of the few notes that indicates a Series. If you look at notes before and after P147, the notes commonly have a two character Series. I venture to guess that it is highly likely that this issue note was also printed with two character Series. For example, here is a P147 with Series AI:
