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.
