EXTREMELY FINE. APPROXIMATELY 41 EXAMPLES OF THE 90-CENT 1880 AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTING ARE KNOWN TO EXIST. THIS STAMP IS ONE OF THE FINEST EXTANT.

The 90c 1880 Special Printing on soft paper is notorious for its condition. Thins or more serious faults affect about half of the known examples and most have only Fine centering. In this stamp we have the rare combination of soundness, margins and centering, as well as extraordinary freshness.
