A GORGEOUS GEM WITH WASHINGTON PEEKING OUT OF THE FANCY CANCEL.

Lester Brookman so aptly states in his book, "this value seems to come atrociously centered about 95% of the time. A centered copy, lightly cancelled, is indeed a jewel that should be acquired, if offered, regardless of the strain upon the exchequer." . (Image1)

A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 30¢ F. GRILL, A STAMP RARELY ENCOUNTERED WITH WIDE MARGINS AND PRECISE CENTERING. ONLY TWO GRADED HIGHER AT "95" BY THE P.S.E.

Scott Catalogue states "Values for No. 100 are for copies with small margins, especially at sides. Large-margined examples sell for much more." Lester Brookman goes on to say, "a decent looking copy is extremely hard to find. Superb copies are almost non-existent." . (Image1)

2619 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, ex-V. Morris, Bowman & Morton, 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 (showing the genuine characteristics) and the centering is precise. In this stamp there is also the added feature of a striking red cancel. (Image1)
