1882 Eugenia (MY 28) with most unusual intaglio year date "1883", on 1¢ postal card (crease, closed spindle hole) to Asylum for the Insane, Hamilton City, on 1¢ postal card with Hamilton arrival (MY 28). Beyond the most unusual intaglio year slug, a similar strike is at the top centre of the reverse of the card with a message written by the Postmaster on behalf of the family asking for an update on a patient and signed "R M Purdy PM Eugenia". The postmaster served as intermediary, letter writer and confident for the family. TWO intaglio year strikes on one card. (Image)
