655   Image30c Orange, Cracked Plate (38 var). Showing significant plate crack in back of Franklin's head, bold strike of large open grid leaves the plate crack clearly visible, Fine, a rare plate variety, Brookman illustrates what he says is a unique plate crack at lower left and questions whether that is a scratch, the stamp offered here with its different crack must have been unknown to him and is far more prominent than the one he was aware of, ex Koppersmith, with 1988 P.F. certificate, the variety is listed but unpriced in Scott and this stamp may well be unique (Image)

656   Image90c Blue (39). Deep rich color and proof-like impression on bright paper, choice centering with well-proportioned margins, neat strike of blue circular datestamp (probably Baltimore Md.)

EXTREMELY FINE. A STUNNING USED EXAMPLE OF THE 90-CENT 1860 ISSUE, WITH GORGEOUS CENTERING AND A BLUE CIRCULARE DATESTAMP CANCEL.

The 90c stamp was issued in 1860, along with the 24c and 30c values, all of which were needed to prepay high international letter rates established by various postal treaties. The basic 24c and 30c rates to England, France and Germany created a volume of mail franked with those values. However, the 90c saw much more limited use, partly due to the rates in effect, but more because of the American Civil War. When supplies of current postage stamps were declared invalid in the South and ultimately demonetized by the Federal government, the 90c had been in use for only one year. For this reason, genuinely cancelled copies are scarce, and covers bearing the 90c are extremely rare.

With 1991 P.F. certificate (Image)

657   Image90c Blue (39). Rich color on bright paper, neat strike of "New York May 21" Ocean Mail circular datestamp with integral grid

FRESH AND FINE. A RARE SOUND USED EXAMPLE OF THE 90-CENT 1860 ISSUE WITH THE NEW YORK OCEAN MAIL CANCELLATION.

The 90c stamp was issued in 1860, along with the 24c and 30c values, all of which were needed to prepay high international letter rates established by various postal treaties. The basic 24c and 30c rates to England, France and Germany created a volume of mail franked with those values. However, the 90c saw much more limited use, partly due to the rates in effect, but more because of the American Civil War. When supplies of current postage stamps were declared invalid in the South and ultimately demonetized by the Federal government, the 90c had been in use for only one year. For this reason, genuinely cancelled copies are scarce, and covers bearing the 90c are extremely rare.

Approximately 180 used examples have been certified by The Philatelic Foundation, of which one-quarter are sound. The example offered here, with the New York Ocean Mail cancel, is extremely desirable.

With 1951 and 1989 P.F. certificates. (Image)

658   Image90c Blue (39). Deep rich color, neat strike of grid of small rectangles cancel, tiny tear at top, small thin spot at top right, light toning at bottom right

FINE APPEARANCE. A SCARCE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 90-CENT 1860 ISSUE WITH WHAT IS ESSENTIALLY A FANCY CANCELLATION.

Most used examples of the 90c 1860 Issue have either a circular datestamp, standard killer or pen cancel. The stamp offered here, with an unusual cancel consisting of a grid of small rectangles, is an extremely unusual example of a non-standard killer cancel on the 90c 1860.

With 1973 and 1993 P.F. certificates. (Image)
