With the introduction of new postal rates, it became necessary to extend the Sixth Definitive set by adding two new values.  There being no further need for a 9 cent stamp, the design earlier used for this value was reprinted with a tablet value of 90 cents.  Clive Abbott produced a new design for the $3.00 stamp.
