    1858: Newspaper Stamp, handstruck in Jassy, the famous 5 parale black on yellowish paper, Type I with frame-line below 'A' unbroken, an attractive example in a sharp deep almost doubled impression with large even margins all round, unused without gum. Minor imperfections with the slightest of diagonal bends and a near invisible hinge thin on reverse and a possible minor repair to a pinhole in the star above the Bull's head. However, this is a truly splendid example of this extremely rare and desirable stamp of which only seven examples (formerly six) are recorded in unused condition. See Heimbüchler I, page 163. Cert. Zanini (1968), Heimbüchler (2016) Scott 8 = $ 15'000 / Gi 11 = £ 24'000 / Mi = € 32'000.
