 | Lot #22 United States 1875 Special Printing 1875 90c violet carmine, unused without gum as issued, scissor separated as often, excellent color, fine example of this rarity, with 2009 PFC. A note in Scott's confirms that "although perforated, these stamps were usually cut apart with scissors. As a result, the perforations are often much mutilated and the design is frequently damaged." (A recent updated Siegel census for Scott 177 records 46 copies. Less than half have perforations on all four sides) (*) Catalog #177 Catalog Value $26,000 | Unsold |
