Lot: 1017

1856, 80c. deep green, position 1, clear to huge margins on three sides, just slightly cut into at top, showing the most prominent and remarkable variety of the plate featuring the small ´´80´´, tied by manuscript cross on cover to San José. Very slight tone spots not detracting from the great rarity of this, the only cover known with this delightful variety, which is the most significant in this value. Certainly one of the important ´´Diligencia´´ covers. Cert. Hernández Rocha and Díaz Paulos. Ciardi 2. Ex Marcó Del Pont and Hoffmann. Starting Price US$ 10,000
