15c Bright Orange (152).
Disturbed original gum, deep shade, faint offset of grill points on gum,
Fine, an unusual item which may be explained by the following scenario --
if multiple sheets were placed in the grilling apparatus but not enough
force was generated, then the bottom sheet(s) would not be grilled and the
individual sheet just below the last grilled sheet may acquire an offset
impression -- with 2001 P.F. certificate

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. With copy of 1983 P.F. certificate for block of six, this being the bottom right stamp (Image) |
