90c Blue, F. Grill (101). Block of four with top sheet selvage, rich color, clearly-defined grills, large grid cancels, bottom stamps light diagonal crease, top left stamp light toning along top perforations

FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE USED BLOCK OF FOUR OF THE 1868 90-CENT F GRILL, WHICH IS THE LARGEST RECORDED MULTIPLE. ONLY THREE ARE KNOWN.

Multiples of higher-denomination stamps such as the 90c F Grill were usually used on heavy parcels or large covers to foreign countries. The parcels or wrappers were rarely kept, and so few multiples have survived. Of the 90c F Grill, we record two other off-center blocks, as well as two rejoined and faulty blocks (one ex Klein and the other ex Ishikawa).

With 1993 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail $25,000.00
