    60 reis grey-black, intermediate impression, a large margined used example tied to September 8, 1844 entire letter to Rio de Janeiro (Teixera correspondence) by straight line PIRACATU handstamp in red-brown, the stamp with insignificant small closed tear at mid-right largely due to acid ink from the cancellation, not detracting from the appearance. One of very few examples of the Bull's Eyes used on the front panel of the letter and an extremely rare usage from Piracattu.
