The late Paulo Comelli believed this piece was 'bad' due to the colour of the postmark being in a pale blue. However the description in the Caspary sale states the 30 reis to be 'toned' and this describer believes the pale colour of the postmark is probably due to a slight bleaching when the piece was cleaned by a previous owner.
