The Robert Bowman Collection of Superb U.S. Stamps continued...

1861-66 Issue (Scott 63-78a) continued...
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
52   Image90c Pale Blue (72a). Beautiful color in the distinct Pale Blue shade, unusually choice centering with wide and balanced margins, unobtrusive cancel leaves entire design clearly visible

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 90-CENT IN THE PALE BLUE SUB-SHADE. A GORGEOUS EXAMPLE OF THIS SHADE, AND ONE OF THE FINEST IN EXISTENCE, THIS STAMP HAS BEEN GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 BY P.S.E.

A review using Power Search found that we have only offered eight unused and used examples of this shade since keeping computerized records. A review of the Philatelic Foundation's online records found a slightly greater supply, but most tend to be either defective or poorly centered.

With 1984 P.F. and 2007 P.S.E. certificates (XF-Superb 95; this shade is unpriced in SMQ, SMQ $4,500.00 as the much more common main shade of Scott No. 72.) This is the highest grade awarded to this shade and only one other shares it. (Image)
