Sale 1162, Lot 113, 1857-60 Issue (Scott 18-39)90c Blue (39). Deep rich color, neat strike of grid of small rectangles of Philadelphia cancel, tiny tear at top, small thin spot at top right, light toning at bottom right

FINE APPEARANCE. A SCARCE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 90-CENT 1860 ISSUE WITH WHAT IS ESSENTIALLY A FANCY CANCELLATION.

Most used examples of the 90c 1860 Issue have either a circular datestamp, standard killer or pen cancel. The stamp offered here, with an unusual cancel consisting of a grid of small rectangles, is an extremely unusual example of a non-standard killer cancel on the 90c 1860.

Ex Saadi. With 1973 and 1993 P.F. and 2014 P.S.E. certificates.
