1856, 80c. emerald green, position 17, remarkable deep shade, mostly large margins showing part of two adjoining frame lines, otherwise only slightly touching the outer frame line, used uncancelled on entire letter from Montevideo to Sauce at double rate, dated December 20, 1858, carried by the stagecoach relay stations route Montevideo-Las Piedras-Canelones. Traces of wax seal used to affix the stamp to cover. Top right corner applied overlaps the edge of the cover, resulting in two slight creases, in no way detracting from this, to our knowledge, the only example in this emerald green shade on cover.
