In addition oval dotted numeral cancellations are rare, only 13 out of 458 covers in the census of Guido Craveri were postmarked this way in a border office. And covers from Belarus are rare too, as only 12 out of 458 covers were despatched from there.rnReference: This cover and its cancellation is not yet included in the census of Guido Craveri - 1857 10-Kopeck imperforate stamp of Russia.rnProvenance: Pavlovsk collection, 92.
