30c Black (154). Original
gum, choice centering with wide margins, beautiful bright shade and
detailed impressionEXTREMELY FINE AND CHOICE. THE 30-CENT NATIONAL UNGRILLED ISSUE IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT OF ALL BANK NOTE ISSUES TO FIND IN SOUND, WELL-CENTERED, ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION.
During the past few years, we have offered a few superb original-gum examples of other 30-cent Bank Note Printings, most notably the Continental printing (Scott 165). Collectors have recognized the rarity of these stamps, bidding aggressively for the best stamps and often setting record prices. As an indicator of rarity for Scott 154, the Zoellner copy was only part original-gum. A search of our records and past auction catalogues finds perhaps two or three stamps on a par with the example offered here.

90c Carmine (155). Right
sheet margin single, original gum, lightly hinged, beautiful rich color and
detailed impression, choice centeringEXTREMELY FINE. THE 1870 90-CENT NATIONAL BANK NOTE ISSUE IS RARE IN CHOICE ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION.
The 1870 90c National Ungrilled Issue, Scott 155, is somewhat overshadowed by its grilled counterpart, Scott 144. Collectors are also misled by the availability of Scott 166, the 90c 1873 Continental. Although the difference in shades is distinct, collectors have a tendency to confuse the two and under-rate the 1870 National printing. Only a few original-gum examples of Scott 155 have the centering, color and freshness of the stamp offered here.
