FINE. LESS THAN 40 OF THE 1875 3-CENT CONTINENTAL SPECIAL PRINTING ARE BELIEVED TO EXIST.

The Scott catalogue notes that "Although perforated, these stamps were usually cut apart with scissors. As a result, the perforations are often much mutilated and the design is frequently damaged." This stamp has white margins all around and displays beautifully on an album page.

Original gum, clearly-defined grill with points that just barely pierce paper as is usual for this issue, deep rich color, faint horizontal crease at top not mentioned on earlier certificate

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A SCARCE EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT 1875 CONTINENTAL GRILL.

It is believed that the Continental grills were made experimentally in 1876, after a stamp-cleaning court trial renewed fears of stamp re-use. The primary source of the rare J Grills was the Worthington collection, which was dispersed in 1917. It is believed that most or all examples in collectors' hands came from the archive of Charles F. Steel, who patented the grilling machines used between 1867 and 1873.
