60   Image2c Black, Z. Grill (85B). Beautifully centered with unusually wide margins, full and clearly-defined grill showing all of the points, lightly cancelled by cork

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 2-CENT Z GRILL, WHICH HAS BEEN GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 BY P.S.E.

The plates used to print the Black Jacks did not provide enough space between subjects for the large 12-gauge perf holes. Consequently, most Black Jack stamps have perfs touching the design on one or two sides. This scarcity of four-margined copies multiplies exponentially when the Z Grill is factored into the equation. Only a small quantity of 2c sheets were grilled during the period when the Z device was active -- after the D Grill (Scott 84), the Z is the rarest of Black Jack grilled stamps.

With 1994, 1999 P.F. and 2015 P.S.E. certificates (XF-Superb 95; SMQ $12,000.00). Only two have graded higher (at 98). (Image)

61   Image3c Rose, Z. Grill (85C). Rich color and detailed impression, clearly-defined grill points, bold rosette and New York circular datestamp cancels, unusually wide margins for this issue

EXTREMELY FINE. A PHENOMENAL USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 3-CENT Z GRILL.

The 3c Z Grill was in production for only a short period of time before the device was replaced with the F Grill. Only a small number of 3c sheets were fed thru the Z Grill, which accounts for the rarity of surviving examples. Our review of past auctions, including Power Search, found precious few sound copies with Extremely Fine centering.

Ex Floyd. Signed Brookman. With 1993 and 2001 P.F. certificates. (Image)

64   Image2c Black, E. Grill (87). Wide and even margins, blue circle of V's geometric cancel, most recent certificate nitpicks a "shorter" perf at bottom right, still Extremely Fine and a fantastic stamp, ex Dr. Morris, with 1988 and 1995 P.F. and 2007 P.S.E. certificates (XF-Superb 95; SMQ $2,000.00), only three have graded higher and we are sure this would have, too, if not for the arbitrary mention of the infinitesimally "shorter" perf (Image)

SOLD for $1,400.00

65   Image3c Rose, E. Grill (88). Rich color on brilliant paper, clear grill, choice centering with wide and balanced margins, grid cancel, Extremely Fine Gem, a beautiful stamp, with 2000 P.F. and 2008 P.S.E. certificates (XF-Superb 95; SMQ $800.00), only one has graded higher (at 95J) and four others share this grade -- we carefully measured this stamp, and although the sides are very slightly wider than the top and bottom margins, they are perfectly balanced and, considering the margin width, qualify this as a Superb 98 (the smart money will buy this stamp and try for an upgrade) (Image)
