EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE STAMP IN ANY CONDITION, THIS 3-CENT 1869 RE-ISSUE RANKS AMONG THE VERY FINEST IN TERMS OF COLOR, CENTERING, FRESHNESS AND GUM.
Original sales figures show that among the 1869 Pictorial Re-Issues, the 3c and 90c stamps accounted for the smallest number of units sold (1,406 and 1,356, respectively). Overall, the 1869's were popular with stamp collectors, far outselling the 1851-60 and 1861-66 Re-Issue sets. However, the 90c stamp's high denomination and the availability of ordinary 3c stamps limited demand. Today, both are rare, and handling over the years has not been kind to most of the surviving examples. This 3c is remarkable not only for its centering, but its overall freshness, both on the face and back, is remarkable.

EXTREMELY FINE. A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THE 15-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL RE-ISSUE.
The Type III design of the 15c Re-Issue is similar to the Type I, except it lacks shading lines around the vignette. The Rose book (p. 104) notes that essays of Type III are known from 1868, indicating this type was contemplated but never used for the original 1869 Issue.

EXTREMELY FINE. A SUPERB ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 90-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL RE-ISSUE. A REMARKABLE CONDITION RARITY.
The 90c 1869 Pictorial was originally designed with a vignette of George Washington, but the decision was made to use Lincoln on the top value instead of the 10c. The Lincoln vignette, adapted from photographic portraits taken by C. S. German in 1861 and Matthew Brady in 1862, was engraved by Joseph Prosper Ourdan (1828-1881) and first used on the 15c 1866 Issue.
