Sale 261


Lot 1275



90¢ Carmine & black (122), bright fresh colors, perfect centering, unusually large, balanced margins. O.g. Extremely Fine.
Scott $9,750

A MAGNIFICENT STAMP WITH MARGINS AND CENTERING SIMPLY NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS HIGH VALUE, ESPECIALLY IN MINT CONDITION.

Expertization: 1983 P.F. Certificate.

The 90¢ 1869 issue is notorious for its poor centering. A used single with the centering and margin size of the above example is in great demand and should command a substantial premium. Simply stated, mint singles in this condition are virtually non-existent.
