Spain used the bar cancellation for remainders - even for issued stamps, a bar cancellation copy goes for around 10% of the cost of a postally used copy.

re: Is this a postage stamp

Each time a switch in stamps was made, the remaining stamps were marked with a 1, 2 or 3 bar mark which invalidated them for postal use, then they were sold on the secondary market.

It would be interesting to know how many of these stamps were printed as I have seen many of them and own a few.

re: Is this a postage stamp

Several countries use a bar cancellation on remainders. I think Belgium and Japan among them. Usually such info is buried in plain sight in a fine print notes in the catalog so few collectors, who seem to be allergic to fine print anyway, read those notes, especially if it indicates that remainders are worth a fraction of the listed "values."
Other countries may use a dated circular post mark, such as the January 31st, 1906 (?) the Dutch applied to the tuberculous set.
Several times I've fond dealers offering them at $20 - $30 and alleging that they had no idea they were worth pennies apiece.
"Remainders, who knew ?"
Yet six months later, there they were in their #102 card back on the display board.
