EXTREMELY FINE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1870 2-CENT NATIONAL BANK NOTE COMPANY GRILLED ISSUE. OUTSTANDING IN EVERY RESPECT -- GRILL IMPRESSION, GUM, COLOR, CENTERING AND SIZE OF MARGINS. A FABULOUS STAMP.

FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1870 12-CENT NATIONAL BANK NOTE COMPANY GRILLED ISSUE.
There exist only a handful of original-gum examples of this issue. As a testimonial to its rarity, outside of this sale we have offered only two other examples in the last 11 years -- a disturbed part original-gum stamp from our 2002 Rarities sale and the unique Mint N.H. stamp from our 2009 Whitman sale.

EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE SOUND AND BEAUTIFULLY CENTERED ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1870 15-CENT NATIONAL BANK NOTE COMPANY GRILLED ISSUE.
The 15c Grilled Issue is one of the most difficult of all National Bank Note Company issues to find in well-centered, original-gum condition. This stamp is one of the finest original-gum examples extant.

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. THE 1870 30-CENT NATIONAL BANK NOTE GRILLED ISSUE IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT TO FIND IN SOUND, CENTERED AND ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION.
The 30c 1870 Grilled Issue is notorious among collectors for its typical poor centering. Among original-gum examples, which are rare in any condition, only a few sound examples would grade Very Fine or better -- our computerized records contain five others with centering that would grade Fine-Very Fine or Very Fine by current standards. A search through 60 years of past auction catalogues and name sales produced only two blocks of four, both poorly centered, which means that there have been no multiples from which choice singles could be harvested. In fact, even among the collections famed for quality Bank Note issues -- Caspary, Lilly, Henry, Ambassador, Braus, Floyd, Whitman et al -- we could not find any original-gum examples that would grade Very Fine or better. Further demonstrating just how rare Scott 143 is in this condition, the P.S.E. Population Report lists only two stamps in the "OG" category, one graded 90 and the other graded 70, both offered in this sale (this stamp listed in the "POG" category). The finest original gum example we were able to locate was offered in our Scarsdale sale (Sale 924, lot 9).
Ex Cole. With 1988 P.F. and 2010 P.S.E. certificates (POG, F-VF 75; SMQ $13,800.00 as original gum -- the slight gum soaked perfs kept this from grading much higher). Scott Retail as original gum (Image)
FINE. THE 1870 30-CENT NATIONAL BANK NOTE GRILLED ISSUE IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT TO FIND IN SOUND, CENTERED AND ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION.
With 2003 P.F. and 2010 P.S.E. certificates (OGh, F 70; SMQ $9,000.00) (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. ONE OF THE BEST-CENTERED ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLES OF THE 1870 30-CENT NATIONAL BANK NOTE GRILLED ISSUE EXTANT.
With 2003 P.F. certificate noting repair. With clear 2013 P.S.E. certificate (OGph, XF 90; unpriced in SMQ above the grade of 80, SMQ $19,200.00 as 80). This is the highest grade awarded in the P.S.E. Population Report. Only one other full original-gum Scott 143 has even been graded (Fine 70, offered in lot 713) (Image)
