1858, 10k. blue and brown, wide to mostly large margins, tied to piece by straight-line "MOSCOW/1857 JANUARY 1" datestamp, additionally cancelled by pen strokes. The datestamp shows "1857" year, applied in error for "1858". Apart from the two famous "31st December 1857" & "1st January 1858" covers, this is one of the three items known documenting the earliest usage of Russian philately; moreover, this piece exhibits the only usage known of this erroneous 1857 date. A fabulous and significant rarity of Russian philately. Mi. 1. Ex Liphschutz and Bianchi.
