EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 5-CENT BROWN F GRILL WITH LIGHTLY-HINGED ORIGINAL GUM. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE STAMP IN THIS CHOICE CONDITION.
The 5c 1861-68 Issues are extremely difficult to find in sound, well-centered, original-gum condition. The narrow spacing between stamps on the plate and large 12-gauge perforations resulted in stamps that are frequently off center. This applies to Scott 67, 75, 76 and 95 alike. None is easy to locate in centered original-gum condition (to understate the matter), but the limited production of 5c F Grills leaves collectors with an even smaller supply.
With 2017 P.F. certificate (XF 90). By way of comparison, the highest grade awarded to the 5c F Grill by P.S.E. is also XF 90 (two examples) (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 15-CENT F GRILL.
Ex Dauer. With 2002 P.F., 2009 and 2017 P.S.E. certificates (XF-Superb 95; SMQ $3,250.00). Only two have graded higher (highest is 100) (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 24-CENT F GRILL.
The high-value F Grill stamps are scarce in original-gum condition and rarely seen with the centering of this superb example.
With 2003 P.F. certificate (Image)
VERY FINE AND CHOICE PART ORIGINAL GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 24-CENT F GRILL.
With 2016 P.S.E. certificate ("unused, part o.g."). Scott Retail as original gum (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT 1861 RE-ISSUE.
The 5c Re-Issue was printed from a new plate of 100 subjects, compared to the original plate of 200 in two panes. The Re-Issue plate can be identified by a notch at bottom. 10,000 stamps were printed (100 impressions). Only 672 of the 5c were sold; the remaining 9,328 were destroyed on July 16, 1884.
With 1993 and 2014 P.F. certificates (XF-Superb 95) (Image)
