15c Orange, Grill (141). H. Grill, block of four, original gum, h.r., few adherences on gum, vibrant color as fresh as the day it was printed, each stamp with clear grill points, reperforated at right

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL-GUM BLOCK OF THE 1870 15-CENT NATIONAL BANK NOTE COMPANY GRILLED ISSUE. THIS IS THE LARGEST RECORDED MULTIPLE FOR THE ISSUE.

Perhaps three or four unused blocks of four are known. One has creases affecting all stamps, and another has perforations touching the design on one or more sides. The block offered here has full original gum, clear grill points and marvelous color. Despite the reperfing it is likely the finest in existence.

With 2012 P.F. certificate
