United States Postage Stamps continued...

1867 Grilled Issues continued...
LotNo. Symbol CatNo. Lot Description
2202     100 image1867, 30¢ orange, F. grill. Wonderfully fresh full o.g., neatly hinged once at top, rich brilliant color, exceptionally well centered especially for this notoriously tight margin issue, bright and wonderfully fresh, strong well-defined grill impression, Extremely Fine, with 2010 P.F. certificate.
Scott No. 100; $12,500.

A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT OF ALL CLASSIC UNITED STATES STAMPS TO OBTAIN IN SUCH SUPERB CONDITION.

The 30¢ 1861-68 Issue is one of the most difficult classic United States classics issues to find in premium condition. The narrow spacing of the plate leaves many with perforations cutting into the design. Color is also an issue with many stamps oxidizing from the apparent high metallic content of the ink used to print this orange color. The stamp offered here with exceptional centering and post office fresh color and paper is a true condition rarity. (Image1)

2203 o    101 image1867, 90¢ blue, F. grill. Exceptional centering with wide well balanced margins, beautiful shade and impression, red cork cancel, much better formed perfs than typically encountered, an Extremely Fine gem, after reviewing all known graded examples at the P.S.E. and despite the grade attributed by the P.S.E., this is in our opinion this is the finest example, with perhaps the exception of the 90¢ Graded 100, with 1985, 1994 P.F. & 2015 P.S.E. certificates, the latter Graded (XF 90, SMQ $4,850).
Scott No. 101; $2,800.

A SPECTACULAR USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 90¢ F. GRILL, COMBINING CHOICE CENTERING, PERFORATIONS, COLOR AND A PREMIUM CANCEL.

The 90¢ stamps used to make grilled issues were printed on a thick stock of paper. It is likely that sheets remaining from the pre-grill period were used and that the thinner paper introduced in 1868 had not been used for the 90c value. Two characteristics of 90c F Grill stamps are poorly punched perforations and generally bad centering. This stamp is a remarkable exception. The perfs are much better formed than usual (although they show the genuine characteristics) and the centering is precise. In this stamp there is also the added feature of a striking red cancel.

This Brest datestamp was used from 1865 to 1866 and was applied in Paris only for this later sailing. This was most likely due to the normal "Ligne H" date stamp or the mail agent was not on the St. Laurent. (Image1)
