    Re Vittorio Emanuele II, 1863 (Jan 1): Underpaid Lettersheet from Palermo to Marsala, bearing 1862 10 c. bistre, a fresh adhesive, tied clear PALERMO cds in black, "FRANCOBOLLO INSUFFICIENTE" handstamp alongside. A most interesting and attractive usage on the first day of the new 1863 rate, underpaid and taxed with 10 centesimi. Cert. E. Diena (1997), Bottacchi (1998).rnNote. The sender franked the letter in the special Sicily rate of 10 centisimi of the old tariff which was abandoned in the new 1863 tariff. The cover was accordingly taxed with twice the deficiency of 5 centesimi.
