71   Image1c Blue, F. Grill, Thin Paper (92 var). Vibrant color, clearly-defined grill, neat strike of circular datestamp, Extremely Fine example of this paper variety, with 2014 P.S.E. certificate (VF-XF 85; SMQ $700.00), with 2015 P.F. certificate (XF-Superb 95, without mention of thin paper), bidders will have to reconcile these widely divergent grades (P.S.E.'s Population Report prices a 95 at $4,250.00), but we feel the true grade is closer to the P.F.'s call on this outstanding stamp (Image)

73   Image5c Brown, F. Grill, Very Thin Paper (95 var). Well-balanced margins, deep rich color and sharp impression, neat strike of circle of V's cancel

EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE WELL-CENTERED EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 5-CENT F GRILL ON THIN PAPER.

The National Bank Note Co. undoubtedly made various attempts to improve grilling quality and efficiency through modifications in the process. Based on surviving stamps, it appears that one modification involved the use of very thin paper, which probably allowed two or more sheets to be grilled in one pass through the grilling device. The 1c (F), 2c (E and F), 3c (E and F), 5c (F), 10c (F), 12c (F) and 15c (F) are found on this very thin paper. They are scarce, particularly the 5c-15c values.

Ex Merlin. With 2000, 2005 and 2006 P.F. certificates (XF 90). With 1999 and 2007 P.S.E. certificates (XF 90; SMQ $2,350.00 with no premium for the paper variety) (Image)
