Sale 1185, Lot 64, 1870-88 Bank Note Issues, 1890-93 Issue

90c Carmine (155). Original gum, lightly hinged, rich color and detailed impression, choice centering with wide margins

VERY FINE AND CHOICE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 90-CENT NATIONAL BANK NOTE ISSUE. SCARCE WITH SUCH WIDE MARGINS AND IN SOUND CONDITION.

The 1870 90c National Ungrilled Issue, Scott 155, is somewhat overshadowed by its grilled counterpart, Scott 144. Collectors are also misled by the availability of Scott 166, the 90c 1873 Continental. Although the difference in shades is distinct, collectors have a tendency to confuse the two and under-rate the 1870 National printing.

Ex "Vineyard". With 1995, 2004 and 2011 P.F. certificates
