Lot 61730 – 1859 80c orange, the second earliest date of use known in the “Thin Figures” Issue

1859 80c orange, phenomenal margins for the most part and intense shade, cancelled by very fine strike of 4.7.1859 oval ds of Montevideo, which was only applied in red during the first month of issue in July 1859, being much scarcer used on the 80c than on the 60c and 120c denominations; this is also the second earliest date of use known in the “Thin Figures” Issue.
