THIS IS HOW THEY DESCRIBED THE STAMP AND WHY THEY
CONSIDERED THE STAMP  RARE AT THAT TIME:
Before Italy became a united
kingdom in 1861, stamps were
issued by each Italian state,
and this is the rarest issued in
Tuscany. In 1860 it was quite
common, a Belgian dealer
buying many for 6d. each, and
selling them at 9d. Now a fine
used specimen is worth GBP 500.
