FINE CENTERING. AN AFFORDABLE AND PRESENTABLE EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 1868 3-CENT Z GRILL WITH LARGE PART ORIGINAL GUM.
With 2008 P.S.E. certificate (POG, FR-G 20) (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 3-CENT Z GRILL WITH UNUSUALLY WIDE MARGINS.
Ex "Vineyard" and Dauer. With 1992 P.S.E., 2000 and 2008 P.F. certificates (VF-XF 85). (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE. THE 1868 ONE-CENT E GRILL IS FAR SCARCER THAN ITS F GRILL COUNTERPART, PARTICULARLY IN ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION.
Some time ago we observed that the 1c E Grill appeared at auction very infrequently, in any form. After analyzing the early 1868 regular-production grills (Z, D, E and F), we concluded that grilling of the 1c 1861 issue with the E (and Z) Grill must have been short-lived, occurring sometime around February 28, 1868. Later grilling of 1c stamps was probably done with the F Grill. Relatively little of the 1c E Grill supply appears to have reached the philatelic market, as evidenced by the stamp's scarcity.
From our 2006 Rarities sale. With 1989, 1999 P.F. and 2014 P.S.E. certificates (VF-XF 85; SMQ $6,000.00). Only two original-gum examples have been graded higher (both at 90) and this is the only 85 grade in P.S.E.'s Population Report (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE GEM. WITHOUT HESITATION WE REGARD THIS ONE-CENT E GRILL AS ONE OF THE FINEST USED EXAMPLES EXTANT. ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT STAMPS OF THE SERIES TO OBTAIN WITH SUCH CHOICE CENTERING AND IN SUCH PRISTINE CONDITION. A MARVELOUS COMBINATION OF THE FOUR C's -- COLOR, CLARITY, CENTERING AND CANCELLATION.
Ex Dr. Puliafito and "Natalee Grace". With 1987, 2000 and 2012 P.F. certificates (Image)
VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A BEAUTIFUL MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 3-CENT E GRILL.
We have offered only three other singles in Mint N.H. condition since keeping computerized records (the last was in 2005). With 2010 P.F. certificate (VF-XF 85). Scott Retail as hinged (Image)
VERY FINE. THE 1868 15-CENT E GRILL IS ONE OF THE RAREST OF THE GRILLED ISSUES WITH ORIGINAL GUM.
As an indication of the rarity of 15c E Grill stamps with original gum, the Scott Catalogue values Scott 91 at $4,500.00 without gum, and $12,500.00 with original gum.
Ex Geisler. With 1972 and 2007 P.F. certificates (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE GEM. ONE OF THE MOST EYE-ARRESTING EXAMPLES OF THE 1868 15-CENT E GRILL. UNQUESTIONABLY ONE OF FINEST EXAMPLES WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED.
Ex Dr. Morris and Dr. Hinrichs. With 2000 P.F. certificate (Image)
