 90c Carmine (155). Original gum, beautiful rich color and detailed impression on post-office fresh paper, choice centering, long and full perforations all aroundEXTREMELY FINE. THE 1870 90-CENT
NATIONAL BANK NOTE ISSUE IS RARE IN CHOICE ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION. The 1870 90c National Ungrilled Issue, Scott 155, is somewhat overshadowed by its grilled counterpart, Scott 144. Collectors are also misled by the availability of Scott 166, the
90c 1873 Continental. Although the difference in shades is distinct, collectors have a tendency to confuse the two and under-rate the 1870 National printing. Only a few original-gum examples of Scott 155 have the centering, color and freshness of the
stamp offered here. With 1984 and 2002 P.F. certificates (Image) |
