3c Rose, Z. Grill (85C). An astonishing example of this rare Z. Grill, mammoth margins all around, blue diamond cancel, clear grill impressionEXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE FINEST USED EXAMPLES OF THE 1867 3-CENT Z GRILL IN EXISTENCE.
The 3c Z Grill was in production for only a short period of time before the device was replaced with the F Grill. Only a small number of 3c sheets were fed thru the Z Grill, which accounts for the rarity of surviving examples.
Ex Renne and Dr. Morris. With 1990 and 1994 P.F. certificates
