| Descrizione |
1859, 2 r. rose red, a horizontal bisect showing complete sheet margin at left, just touching frame line at top, used as 1r on cover from Valera to Maracaibo, thus justifying the single rate applied for a distance between 25 and 100 miles, tied by ''3'' numeral handstamp from the pre-adhesive period. Docket inside January 14th. A spectacular cover demonstrating the only recorded horizontal bisect usage of this stamp, with its desirability being further enhanced by the extremely rare cancellation. Cert. Moorhouse. Scott 3b.
