92   Image90c Blue (39). Intense shade and impression, wide margins on three sides, perfs touch at bottom, cancelled by grid in circle

FINE-VERY FINE. A RARE SOUND USED EXAMPLE OF THE 90-CENT 1860 ISSUE.

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 large 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 as genuine by The Philatelic Foundation, of which approximately one-quarter are sound.

With 1983 and 2003 P.F. certificates (Image)

93 og Image90c Blue, Imperforate (39a). Without gum as issued, large margins to clear at top, rich color

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A RARE SOUND FOUR-MARGIN EXAMPLE OF THE 1860 90-CENT IMPERFORATE.

According to Brookman, the 24c, 30c and 90c 1860 Imperforates come from a trial printing of the finished designs submitted to the Postmaster General for final opinion. The designs and colors match the regular issues (unlike essays and trial color proofs). One pair is known of the 90c. For many years these were listed in the front of Scott Catalogue.

A Power Search review did not find another four-margin single offered outside of a set. (Image)
