90c Carmine & Black, Re-Issue (132). Original gum, lightly hinged, deep rich colors and proof-like impressions on bright paper, marvelous centering with Jumbo margins
EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SENSATIONAL ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 90-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL RE-ISSUE, GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 JUMBO BY BOTH P.S.E. AND THE PHILATELIC FOUNDATION.
Ex Whitman. With 1993 and 2010 P.F. and 2008 P.S.E. certificates (last two OGph, XF-Superb 95 Jumbo). Only three grade higher (all 98, we have never offered any) and none share this desirable grade — it is difficult to find stamps that qualify as Jumbos in this issue. In fact, many collectors would prefer this 95 Jumbo over a 98 stamp with smaller margins.
