Lot: 1376

1846, 10r. black, fine impression, of remarkable freshness and very fine colour, three large margins, just touched at right, cancelled by Pernambuco "shield" stamp of 23 September 1846 "23/7BRO/1846", which represents the earliest date recorded for the lowest denomination in the "Inclinados" issue, pre-dating by three days the first day of issue for this stamp which was stated by some authors. Unique. RHM 4. The first day of issue of the 10r. value has given rise to controversy which has not been solved yet. Some authors believed the 26 September 1846 to be the first day of issue, although very important and renowned experts such as Everaldo Nigro do Santos and Walter G. Taveira rejected this theory. The theory of the first day of issue of the 10r. denomination remains unknown and a mystery to advanced Brazilian collectors, even more if we also take into consideration the two 10r. examples known printed on ´´Bull´s Eye´´ paper. Starting Price US$ 500
