90c Blue (72). Original gum, lightly hinged, warm shade, wide and balanced marginsEXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 90-CENT 1861 ISSUE WHICH IS VERY LIGHTLY HINGED.
We have encountered perhaps a half-dozen sound 90c 1861 stamps with original gum and Very Fine or Extremely Fine centering. The multiples that were broken to furnish singles were generally off center.
Ex Hetherington and Senchuk as top stamp in a vertical pair. 1961 P.F. certificate as pair no longer accompanies. With 2011 P.S.A.G. certificate (XF-Superb 95). By way of comparison, only one is graded 95 at P.S.E.
