    1858: 30 k. lilac-red & green perf. 14½ x 15, fresh colour and well centered, watermark '3' shifted slightly to the bottom, pen cancellation removed and stamp cleaned, perforation repaired. As this stamp was issued not earlier than February 1858 and as pen strokes were obliterating the adhesives only in the two first months of 1858 this is an extremely early use of the 30 k. stamp. In spite of its imperfections and modifications this is a scarce and desirable example of the rarest classical Russian stamp. Opinion Buchsbayev (2014) Mi = EUR 3'000 for a used stamp.
