    1850 (April-July): 2 d. deep bright blue, Plate II, position 13, early impression, the famous unused example with large even margins all round, showing "CREVIT omitted" variety clearly, with contemporary manuscript on reverse "never been used. I send this for you to keep" over the partial browned gum. Negligible crease and minor dusting of age from gum, neither affecting the dramatic appearance of this exceptional and (most probably unique) rare stamp. A splendid item for the connoisseur. Cert.
