5c Brown, F. Grill (95). Mint N.H., deep rich color and proof-like impression, clearly-defined grill, unusually choice centering for this difficult issue

EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE SOUND AND CENTERED MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1867 5-CENT F GRILL. THIS IS WITHOUT QUESTION ONE OF THE FINEST IN EXISTENCE.

The 5c F Grill is rare but does exist in Mint N.H. condition. These have primarily been harvested from blocks broken in the last decade. We have offered five others since keeping computerized records. However, none has been truly well-centered. The margins are generally narrow, and the perforations often touch the design. The stamp offered here has every characteristic one could hope for -- Mint N.H. gum, a clear grill, wide and balanced margins which are well clear of the perforations and long and full perforations all around.

With 1988 and 2006 P.F. certificates (XF 90). Scott Retail as hinged
