EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 90-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE, WITH BRIGHT COLORS, CHOICE CENTERING AND AN UNOBTRUSIVE CANCELLATION. EXCEEDINGLY SCARCE IN SUCH CHOICE CONDITION.

These high-denomination stamps were typically used on mail to foreign countries or on heavy registered letters. They were often heavily cancelled by postal clerks to make sure they were not reused. The example offered here is the rare exception to the rule.

Ex Argentum. With 1983 and 2009 P.F. certificates.
