Lot 30096 – 1857-59 Post Paid 1d. red-brown, position 9, with GREEN “1” numeral

1857-59 Post Paid 1d red-brown, position 9, touched in very small place at upper right corner, otherwise good to large margins, cancelled by Mahebourg numeral ‘1’ in green, small corner crease at lower left of little significance for this exceedingly scarce usage in green, as far as we can say unique. Note: One further example of this cancellation in green has been brought to our attention, this being a much more vivid and crisp strike
