#39, 90c Blue, an extraordinarily rare used example of this value, which is one of the few stamps in United States philately that is actually far more rare and valuable in used condition versus mint, with this particular copy being one of the few which is completely sound and without the myriad of flaws which affect the majority of known certified used examples, bold rich color and impression on bright fresh paper, attractively well centered with well clear to large margins all around and bordered by full even perforations, neat and unobtrusive grid cancel, very fine and choice example of the used rarity; it is believed that are there are less than 200 certified used examples, and the vast majority have faults of varying degrees; an important sound stamp for the serious collector of used U.S. stamps; 2002 and 2014 PSE certificates.
