4 fine/very fine used pairs of the 1c - 10c pale gray green & gray green - claret Numerals - King Humbert I from the 1863-1879 Numerals - King Humbert I Issues, 2 used on piece.

Scott Classic lists blocks of 4 at a significant premium, so pairs should still be worth a premium, though not quite as much. One 1c pair cancelled with a square of dots cancel and the other with what appears to be a 1874 CDS cancel. the 2c pair is cancelled with a crisp 1877 Palermo CDS.
