90c Deep Blue, Reprint (47). Without gum as issued, rich color on bright paper

VERY FINE EXAMPLE OF THE 90-CENT 1857 REPRINT.

The Continental Bank Note Company reprinted the 90c stamp from the original plate of 200 subjects. 10,000 were printed (50 impressions). Only 454 were sold; the remaining 9,546 were destroyed on July 23, 1884, by order of the Postmaster General. Few surviving copies exist with the precise centering of this stamp.

With 1984 and 2005 P.F. certificates.
