90c Carmine (191). Original gum, lightly hinged, perfectly centered with enormous margins on all sides, rich color and proof-like impressionEXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 90-CENT 1879 AMERICAN BANK NOTE ISSUE.
There are lots of loose fibers along the perf tips, which is just what one wants to see on a 90c 1879 American Bank Note Co. Issue in fresh original-gum condition. A review of our computerized records indicates that this is the widest-margined example we have offered in over ten years. The P.S.E. Population Report lists two Scott 191 stamps with the OG XF-Superb 95 grade, and it seems inevitable that this stamp will join them.
