Lot 60854 – 1865, 1r black on deep green, position 2, used

1865, 1r black on deep green, position 2 (this being the most spectacular position as a result of the prominent black flaws below the shield), just touched at top, otherwise good margins, cancelled by “Franco” oval handstamp in blue; an exceedingly rare stamp in used condition (underestimated in the Scott catalogue) -as a matter of fact, only one example was gathered in the Hennan collection, as well as two and three examples respectively in the Báez Guerrero and Krug collections-; very desirable.
