1075

2c Black, F. Grill (93). Block of 24, original gum, many stamps lightly hinged, left column slightly short gum and pencil notation on gum, each stamp shows clear grill, much better centering than normally encountered on large multiples of this issue, perf separations sensibly reinforced including largely rejoined between second and third columns, some short perfs at left

FINE-VERY FINE. A RARE AND ATTRACTIVE LARGE MULTIPLE OF THE 1868 2-CENT F GRILL.

The 2c F Grill is known in large multiples. However, most examples we have encountered larger than a block of four have poor centering, with cut-in stamps the norm. This block had an additional two rows at bottom when it was sold in the 1956 Caspary auction.

Ex Caspary. Scott Retail as blocks of four (Image)
