122

#122, 90c Carmine and black, mathematically precise centering amid lavishly large margins, spectacularly intense colors and deeply etched impressions on bright fresh paper, intact perforations all around, incredibly clean full o.g. that has been lightly hinged, superb.The example offered here from the William L. Lewis collection is, without fear of being contradicted, one of the top two or three finest original gum examples of the Ninety Cent 1869 Pictorial in existence, as this phenomenal stamp features physical characteristics that are virtually unheard of on this notoriously difficult and rare value. What is most remarkable about this stamp is the extraordinary combination of gem qualities converging on a single copy - centering, size of margins, color, impression, overall freshness and preservation of gum. This stamp, in its last auction appearance in March 2002 (Shreves Philatelic Galleries, Inc. "Premier Sale"), realized a record $32,500.00, plus the 10% buyer's premium, when it cataloged $9,250.00. We fully anticipate that the realization in the Lewis sale will be equally impressive versus its current catalog value. A remarkable gem that is deserving of placement in the most important collections of United States stamps. Accompanied by 1991 PF and PSE certificates; ex-Weisman, Higgins. (Image)
