    1855 (July): 20 c. 'cobalto verdastro', a fine and fresh adhesive with good to large margins, well embossed, tied by clear "NUORO 30 GEN 57" cds to cover to Cagliari. Reverse with arrival cds of the next day. The letter had a weight of '8' grams and was therefore underfranked, handwritten note "Francobollo insuffe" and '2' decimi due on obverse. Due to unknown reasons the cover was at one time point or another detaxed. Cover lightly tatty, shortened at left and right, still an attractive and interesting usage with this rare shade, signed Vaccari; cert. Sorani (2004) Sassone = € 3'000.
