Taxed upon arrival and '50' (centesimi) noted with blue crayon on obverse, two 10 c. due and a missing 30 c. stamp used to pay this. Reverse with Genova arrival cds (Dec 11, 1875). Some toning on front and reverse, stamps with faults, nevertheless a scarce usage.rnNote: Most of the few existing covers with Liberty Head stamps are dated 1877-1879.
