EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 90-CENT 1873 CONTINENTAL BANK NOTE COMPANY ISSUE. A SUPERB STAMP IN EVERY RESPECT AND A TRUE CONDITION RARITY.

We have only offered two other Mint N.H. examples since keeping computerized records: one with top right corner selvage, and the other with plate number selvage at top. Curiously, the P.S.E. has not certified a single Mint N.H. example of Scott 166.

With copy of 1988 P.F. certificate for pair and with 2007 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail as hinged
