138 og Image15c Bright Orange (152). Original gum, lightly hinged, choice centering with well-proportioned margins

VERY FINE AND CHOICE EXAMPLE OF THE 1870 15-CENT NATIONAL BANK NOTE ISSUE.

The 15c 1870 National Grilled Issue (Scott 141) is widely recognized as an extremely rare stamp in choice original-gum condition. Less well known is the fact that its ungrilled counterpart -- Scott 152 -- is comparably challenging to find in such condition. This stamp has all of the National printing characteristics, but it defies the norm by having exceptional centering and freshness.

140 og Image30c Black (154). Original gum, lightly hinged, choice centering with wide margins, beautiful deep charcoal shade and detailed impression

EXTREMELY FINE. THE 1870 30-CENT NATIONAL UNGRILLED ISSUE IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT OF ALL BANK NOTE ISSUES TO FIND IN SOUND, WELL-CENTERED, ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION.

During the past 15 years, we have offered a few superb original-gum examples of National and Continental 30c Bank Notes (Scott 143, 154 and 165). Included in this total is a handful of the Continental printing, Scott 165, which is distinguished from its National Ungrilled counterpart by shade and the shape of the perforations. For the Ungrilled National printing, Scott 154, we have offered fewer than five stamps comparable to or exceeding the outstanding condition of the example offered here. This is one of the most difficult of all the Bank Note issues to find in such superb condition (please see lot 125 for a discussion of the 30c National Grilled Issue).

141 og Image90c Carmine (155). Original gum, outstanding centering with well-proportioned margins, radiant color and detailed impression

EXTREMELY FINE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1870 90-CENT UNGRILLED NATIONAL BANK NOTE ISSUE.

In general, the Grilled National Bank Note Issues in superb original-gum condition overshadow their ungrilled counterparts. This is also true for the 90c. However, in the case of the 90c, collectors are frequently misled by the availability of Scott 166, the 1873 Continental printing. The difference in shades is distinct, yet collectors have a tendency to under-rate the 1870 National printing. Most original-gum examples are poorly centered. This example is remarkable for its centering and freshness of color.

With 1998 P.F. and 2013 P.S.E. certificates (OGph, XF 90, SMQ $10,800.00). Only two stamps have been graded higher (both at 95) and two others share this grade (Image)
