68 ng 84 image#84, 2c Black, "D" grill, an unusually choice unused example of this rare grilled stamp which is, in fact, one of the rarest and most challenging of all the grilled issues, exceptionally bright and fresh, strong intense color and impression, while centered just a bit to left this stamp possesses far superior centering than the great majority of certified examples whether mint, unused or used, very fine; 1996 PSE certificate.

69 ng 85B image#85B, 2c Black, "Z" grill, a phenomenal quality unused example of this stamp, which is not only one of the rarest of all the grilled issues, but is widely regarded as one of the most difficult to obtain in premium quality, possessing near perfect centering amid gigantic margins which would be impressive for any stamp of the era, but are virtually unheard of on a "Z" grill issue, strong color in an intense shade, excellent easily identifiable grill impression, an extremely fine gem; we believe this spectacular stamp has no equal in terms of its centering and size of margins; 1976 and 1994 PF certificates; ex-Golin.

75 og 92 image#92, 1c Blue, "F" grill, an absolutely superb example of a stamp that is seldom seen mint, let alone in this most remarkable condition, possessing every physical attribute that the most demanding condition conscious collector could hope for, including flawless centering amid lavishly large margins, an overall brilliance unlike any other we have seen, absolutely radiant color and a strong impression on immaculate paper, pristine full o.g., lightly hinged, extremely fine; the epitome of a condition rarity in this incomparable quality; 1999 PF certificate. (Image) 1,000.00

77 O 93 var. image#93 var., 2c Black, "F" grill, "shifted design" variety, a spectacular used example whose vertical perforations have been shifted drastically, basically "bisecting" the stamp and leaving virtually the entire right half completely devoid of printing, fancy geometric cancel in blue, stamp with small tear and a couple of thin spots of little importance considering that this stamp is the most dramatic and visually eye appealing perforation error we have ever encountered on a "Black Jack" stamp; a great item for a medal-winning exhibit; 1999 PF certificate. (Image) Est. 750-1,000

SOLD for $750.00
Closing..Sep-13, 05:00 PM
78 og 94 image#94, 3c Red, "F" grill, superlative mint example, possessing mathematically precise centering amid uncharacteristically large margins, plus its color is considerably deeper than usual and its impression quite strong, pristine full o.g., lightly hinged, an extremely fine gem; a terribly scarce stamp in this premium condition and, in our opinion, woefully undercataloged considering how few truly nice mint examples are offered; 1995 PF certificate. (Image) 360.00

SOLD for $900.00
Closing..Sep-13, 05:00 PM
79 og 95 image#95, 5c Brown, "F" grill, brilliantly fresh mint single, sumptuously rich color and a strong detailed impression on crisp paper, quite well centered when compared to most, full o.g., relatively lightly hinged, very fine; a challenging and scarce mint stamp; 1993 PF certificate.

80 og 97 image#97, 12c Black, "F" grill, a most remarkable mint example of this seldom offered stamp, being one of those special stamps whose overall brilliance and freshness clearly separates it from the vast majority, possessing true "post office" fresh qualities which belie its age, with prooflike color and impression on crisp clean paper, plus this stamp is especially well centered within uncharacteristically large margins, full o.g., relatively lightly hinged, extremely fine for this; a choice original gum Twelve Cent "F" grill that is among the finest we have ever offered; 1994 PF certificate.
