Sale 1000, Lot 1101, 1870-88 Bank Note Issues90c Dull Carmine, Special Printing (202). Without gum as issued, bright color, trivial natural inclusion not mentioned on either accompanying certificate

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. APPROXIMATELY 40 EXAMPLES OF THE 90-CENT 1880 AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTINGS ARE KNOWN TO EXIST.

The 90c 1880 Special Printing on soft paper is notorious for its condition (thins affect most of the known examples) and typically poor centering. This stamp is in a remarkable state of preservation.

Unpublished Census No. 201-UNC-32. Ex Sheriff, "Vineyard" and "Laila". With 1971 and 2001 P.F. certificates
