FRESH AND FINE. THIS IS THE EARLIEST DOCUMENTED USE OF THE 1868 2-CENT Z GRILL ON COVER. A GREAT RARITY OF CLASSIC EARLY DATES AND BLACK JACK COLLECTING.

The editors of the Scott Catalogue list February 11, 1868, as the earliest documented use of the 2c Z Grill, but were not previously aware of this cover. Mr. Faust acquired this cover when the stamp was misdescribed as an F Grill -- he identified it as the Z Grill.

With 2018 P.F. certificate (Image)
