1858, 10 k. brown and blue, first printing, very fresh with three wide to mostly very large margins, just barely touched at small part of the lower margin, unused with large part of original gum. The extremely rare existing copies uncancelled were very probably removed from letters. Mr. Mikulski states on his 1991 certificate: ''This stamp unused" -(obviously with part of original gum)- "is a World and Russian rarity, only known in number of two pieces'' (in private hands), also a pair recorded exhibited in the Postal and Telecommunications Museum in St. Petersburg. Undoubtedly an extraordinary gem of Russian philately. Cert. Mikulski. Mi. 1. Ex Mertens.
