90c Pale Blue (72a). Pretty shade, wide and balanced marginsEXTREMELY FINE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 90-CENT IN THE PALE BLUE SUB-SHADE. A SURPRISINGLY DIFFICULT SHADE TO OBTAIN IN BETTER CONDITION.
A review using Power Search found that we have only offered six unused and used examples of this shade since keeping computerized records. A review of the Philatelic Foundation's online records found a slightly greater supply, but most tend to be either defective or poorly centered.
