i think this is awesome, picked up in a AU $4.00 cover lot, along with a #65 and a #156/182, can't quite tell due to the cancel.

Cover

Close up of the stamp.

and it wasn't actually a cover, it was a folded advertising letter from 1862 about Gas oil from a Mr. John Butler!


Love it! and I thought I would share it here.

Good example of the single 1c printed circular rate.

While I don't yet have a mint stamp, here are three different shades of the 63P4 Proof (card format is P4).

This first one is the color closest to the blue shade of the issued stamp.





The second one is a deeper, brighter blue than the issued stamp.





The final example is what I'm calling a dusky blue shade, for lack of a better term.





These would have been the result of the different printings. I'm still looking for information on whether these proofs have ever been tied to a specific printing, but have not found anything for the 63P4 that definitively ties them to one.
