90c Deep Blue, Reprint (47). Without gum as issued, deep rich color and detailed impression on bright paper, gorgeous centering with wide and balanced margins

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THE 90-CENT 1857 REPRINT IN THE FINEST CONDITION ATTAINABLE.

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 1967 P.F. and 1990 P.S.E. certificates
