 1865 (Jan 30) Cover from Bucharest franked with 20pa red tied by rare experimental trial cancellation of framed network type in black (Kiriac-15R, fig. 362), an exceptionally rare mark in use for just five weeks, the stamp
being an exhibition quality item with the sheet margin at bottom and extraordinarily large margins; this letter is explicitly mentioned in "Stampilografie Postale" by Kiriac p.94; the finest cover recorded of this major cancellation rarity and
possibly the earliest known use of the Cuza issue; which was only sent to the Post Offices on January 21st 1865; ex Oddor (1934).(Image 1)

 1866 20par on thin paper from stone C in almost full mint sheet (one stamp removed at bottom left), except for a few normal creases as to be expected where the sheet has been folded it is in very good condition, ideal for the
specialist with numerous plate flaws indicating a very worn printing, very rare with the major name sales of the past years missing such an item and hence a major rarity of Romania, cert. Gmach (2021).(Image 1)

 1869 (July 20) Cover to Braila franked with a 2b orange, large four margins, very rare and spectacular variety "PCSTA", tied by a time indicating T69 "Bucuresti" cds, arrival on reverse in blue dated 23/7, the cover being a
folded printed matter article concerning a commercial signature specimen (thus the 2b franking being the correct rate for printed matter up to 15 grams), horizontal filing crease centrally not affecting stamp, attractive cover, very rare and fine,
especially so given the size of the margins and the error in "POSTA"; this variety is only present on one position of the six different stones, almost certainly a unique variety on cover; cert. Heimbüchler (2007).
Note: A cover showing a similar "FOSTA" variety was part of the "Cornelia" collection and was offered in 2007 for 5,000CHF.(Image 1)
