90c Carmine (155). Original gum, bright color on fresh paper, choice centering with well-proportioned margins EXTREMELY FINE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1870 90-CENT UNGRILLED NATIONAL BANK NOTE ISSUE. In general, the Grilled National Bank Note Issues in superb original-gum condition overshadow their ungrilled counterparts. This is also true for the 90c. However, in the case of the 90c, collectors are frequently misled by the availability of Scott 166, the 1873 Continental printing. The difference in shades is distinct, yet collectors have a tendency to under-rate the 1870 National printing. Most original-gum examples are poorly centered. This example is remarkable for its centering and freshness of color. With 2007 P.S.E. certificate (OGph, XF 90; SMQ $10,800.00). Only two stamps have graded higher (both at 95) and two others share this grade Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Nov 2013, Sale 1057, Lot 734 |
