12c Dull Violet, Grill (140). H. Grill, many rows of clearly-defined grill points, pretty shade, neat strike of New York Foreign Mail Geometric cancel and also part of red transit cancel

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A BEAUTIFUL USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1870 12-CENT NATIONAL BANK NOTE COMPANY GRILLED ISSUE. THIS GRILLED ISSUE IS EXTREMELY RARE WITH A NEW YORK FOREIGN MAIL CANCELLATION.

A review using Power Search failed to find another with such a clear strike of the New York Foreign Mail cancel. This device was used from April 1873 to May 1874.

With 1997 A.P.S. and 1997 P.F. certificates. With 2012 P.S.E. certificate
