1859, 10c. orange brown, stone B, position 7, large even margins all around, tied by very fine framed ´´Amortizado/Medellín/Marzo 19 1860´´, used on judicial wrapper (reduced at left) directed to Río Negro, with blue ´´Recibida en la Adminis-/tración P. de Medellín´´ datestamp used on dispatch applied adjacent. The franking covered the double weight letter rate for a route not exceeding 50 km., being 40 km. the distance between Medellín and Río Negro. The only first issue stamp tied by a datestamp on cover, this being the scarcest of the two (´´Amortizado´´ and ´´Recibida´´) different types used at Medellín, which are also showed together on this item only. A magnificent postal history rarity of the first issue, as well as an essential showpiece of great significance for the advanced collection. Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott 4. Ex Santa María.
