90c Rose Carmine (166).
Bottom margin block of four with full "NATIONAL BANK NOTE CO. NEW YORK"
imprint, original gum, top pair lightly hinged, bottom pair Mint
N.H., beautiful bright color on fresh paper, top stamps almost
perfectly-centered, bottom stamps with extra wide marginsEXTREMELY FINE GEM BLOCK OF THE 90-CENT CONTINENTAL BANK NOTE COMPANY PRINTING. THIS IS THE ONLY BLOCK OF THIS STAMP KNOWN TO US SHOWING THE IMPRINT. As this block vividly demonstrates, Continental Bank Note Co. used the National plate to print 90c stamps in 1873, leaving the National imprint unchanged. The Chapin book records a unique plate number block of four without imprint. Our search of specialized Bank Note auctions and major name sales failed to reveal another block showing the imprint. Probably four to five additional blocks still exist, but most of the well-centered blocks have been broken into singles. (Image) |
