used 1863-71 2c. deep brown, a horizontal pair cancelled by two fine strikes of the Shanghai sunbust cancellation, there is also a very faint strike of "B62" (?) across the lower right corner. Very fine and a remarkable pair, all multiples of this postmark are of the highest rarity, the majority of these being pairs of the 4c. R.P.S. Certificate (2001). Photo | Christie's
