Uma das séries que mais me intriga na filatelia brasileira é a dos numerais (verticais e coloridos) picotados ou denteados. As informações sobre esta emissão são bem restritas e o próprio Catálogo de Selos do Brasil não traz muitas informações (exceto que abundam picotagens falsas) e da importância de se adquirir estes selos com certificado de autenticidade.
One of the most intriguing stamp series in Brazilian philately is 1866 perforated “vertical” and “colored” stamps. Information about this issue is very limited and even RHM Stamp Catalog of Brazil does not bring a lot of information (except that abound false perf.) and the importance of acquiring these stamps with certificate of authenticity.

Como eu acho que a filatelia só vai se desenvolver novamente se as informações forem divulgadas, vou fazer um apanhado do que já consegui levantar sobre esta emissão.
I think philately will only develop again with knowledge spread. Below, a summary of what I have found about this issue.

O contexto histórico: em 1866, duas repartições postais (Rio de Janeiro e Salvador) fizeram, por conta própria, a picotagem de selos das emissões “Verticais” e “Coloridos”, sem o aval da Casa da Moeda, por meio de máquinas de preparar talões, muito provavelmente para facilitar o trabalho dos funcionários. Neste mesmo ano era lançada a série D. Pedro II – Barba Preta, feita pelo American Bank Note, com uma novidade: eram denteados.
Historical context: in 1866, two postal offices (Rio de Janeiro and Salvador) perforated stamps of “vertical” and “colored” series of 1850/61, without permission of “Casa da Moeda do Brasil”, responsible for printing Brazilian stamps. These postal offices used making coupons machines to do these perforations, probably to make easier their work. In the same year were issued D. Pedro II series, also known Black Beard, printed by American Bank Note, with an innovation: they were perforated.
