 90c Rose Carmine (166). Brilliant color as fresh as the day it was printed, gorgeous centering with wide and balanced margins, long and full perforations all
around, unobtrusive strike of circular datestampEXTREMELY FINE GEM. A STUNNING USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1873 90-CENT CONTINENTAL BANK NOTE COMPANY ISSUE. THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE FINEST IN EXISTENCE. The higher-denomination Bank Note issues
were normally heavily cancelled, to prevent re-use. This makes it difficult for collectors looking for high-quality stamps to find a suitable copy. Some criteria (centering, color or cancel) is usually sacrificed when pursuing this issue. The stamp
offered here, with unusually wide and balanced margins, with long and full perforations all around, bright color as fresh as the day it was printed and a light cancel, is a true condition rarity. Ex Renne, Mayer and Hinrichs.. With 1987 and 2004
