|ENVELOPE| 96(4). 1867. 50 mils brown, four stamps. MADRID to NINOVE (BELGIUM). The postage of 200 mils (equivalent to 16 quarters) is not enough to cover the rate of 19 quarters in force since January 1, 1866, and yet the post office accepted the postage even though it was missing 3 quarters. MAGNIFICENT AND VERY RARE.
