Auction: SW1002 - Latin America, including the Tito Collection - Part I
Lot: 1049

1858, 240c. red, mostly ample margins, just clipped at top and bottom left corner, in mixed franking with 1859 thin figures 60c. grey, wide to mostly large margins, just closer at bottom left corner, both tied to piece by Montevideo oval handstamp, dated December 29, 1859. Slight soiling, with faint tone spots at left, in no way detracting from this very important showpiece. Unique, being one of only three mixed frankings of the ´´Sun´´ Issues recorded. Given the great scarcity of 240c. copies used, with just about ten in existence, the importance of this piece is even further enhanced. Cert. Hernández Rocha. Ciardi 6, 7. Starting Price US$ 7,500
