Description:
1864 1d. red pl. 79, variety imperforate, placed sideways (contrary to regulations) on envelope locally used in Dublin, neatly tied by 186 Dublin duplex dated Nov 18/68; a very fine example of this rare error which is a new discovery and quite possibly the finest known used on cover extant.
