90c Carmine & Black (122). Horizontal strip of three, deep rich colors, bold roller cancel, left stamp light vertical crease, center stamp tiny thin spot at bottom of grill, right stamp thins at top and a sealed tear at bottom rightFINE APPEARANCE. A RARE USED MULTIPLE OF THE 90-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE.
Multiples of the 90c are extremely rare. Only seven used blocks of four are recorded, and the largest recorded multiple is a strip of seven. Very few multiples were used, due to the stamps' high denomination and brief period of use. Subsequent collector demand resulted in the reduction of many multiples to singles.
