Lot: 1372

1844, 30r. black, intermediate impression, type II, frame lime lacking at left, otherwise ample to large margins on two sides, cancelled by ´´Correio Geral Da Corte´´ cds. The cancellation caused a slight oxidation which is visible on both sides, this being of little significance for this great rarity featuring type II of the 30r. denomination on ´´Bull´s Eye´´ paper. This is one of the two rarest stamps of Brazilian philately as only three examples off cover are so far recorded, all in used condition, of which two, originating from a pair which was severed into two single examples, were used at Ceará, with this being unique as used at Rio de Janeiro. This adhesive, one of the two rarest stamps of Brazilian philately, must be also considered as one of the scarcest in South American philately. RHM 5C. Starting Price US$ 50,000
