AN EXTREMELY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE PARTIALLY ERASED C GRILL VARIETY, BELIEVED TO BE THE FINEST OF THE FEW KNOWN ON COVER.

In a few areas of the C Grill, the points between grills were insufficiently planed away or erased when the A Grill was converted to the smaller C Grill. As a result, some of the stamps from the C Grill have grills measuring approximately 18 mm wide. These so-called Partially Erased C Grill stamps are very rare, and the cover offered here is regarded as the finest example of the few known on cover. It is also a very early use of the C Grill (EDU Nov. 16, 1867).
