Minor imperfections, with a light thin and a tiny crease mentioned for accuracy, a most attractive example with the cancellation leaving most of the design free. Unrecorded in Heimbüchler's census of 2007, the stamp is cancelled either BAKEU or BERLAD, either town with only 15 examples recorded.

An astonishingly early usage: the second Bull's Head Issue was released on Saturday 1st November 1858, and this letter is clearly cancelled on the 3rd day of issue (technically the 2nd day as the Post Office was closed on the Sunday). Until recently this item was considered the earliest known usage, as the only example from the first day of use was considered lost. The stamp has a tiny surface fault on the '0' of '40' at top otherwise fine and attractive. The second earliest usage of the issue and a major Exhibition item. Cert.
