Hi All
Thought you may like to see my cover from PNG with the full set of 2015 uprated provisionals .These were made available by a stamp collector who lives in PNG.

re: PNG cover with 'up-rated provisionals'
Brian,
why are there provisionals in PNG?

Hi
PNG has a habit of running out of common stamps as you can see by the by the amount of up rated and down rated overprints.
This was a rate increase and instead of issuing various value new sets they just printed stamps to add to the older issues to make up the new rates.
Novel way to go I suppose.Like the Adelaide CPS stamps six 30c stamps to make up the 70c rate to the new $1-00 rate last year,as not many were done these sets are selling for over $2,000 a set.
