1856, 1r. vermilion, a fresh example in vivid shade with mostly clear to well balanced large margins, just very slightly in at top, uncancelled as usual, used on triple rate cover from Buenos Aires to Perdido, endorsed ?Por Diligencia?, dated March 1, 1858. The cover was sent by ferry to Montevideo, where the ?Diligencias? adhesive was applied, then carried by the stagecoach main route via Santa Lucía and San José to Rosario, where it changed to a secondary route and delivered to forwarder Diego MacEntyre, who consigned this mail to the addressee, with endorsement at bottom ?Para dejar en el puesto del Sr. Dn. Diego MacEntyre?. Most of the recorded mail in this well known correspondence originating from Buenos Aires. Only five covers are recorded with this value, this possessing the added significance of originating from abroad. One of the most desirable ?Diligencia? covers. Cert. Hernández Rocha. Ciardi 3. Ex Banchs. Starting Price US$ 25,000
