    60 reis black, Early Impression on greyish paper, a fine example with close to large margins all round used as seal on reverse of 1844 entire letter from Maranhao to Caxias, well tied by circular dated CORREIO DE MARANHAO (August 2) in red (Ayres 1615). Usual minor faults associated with the adhesive being applied to the reverse of a cover but opens splendidly for Exhibit display. Very rare, with only three Bulls Eye covers known bearing this cancellation.
