Sale 1163, Lot 108, 1870-71 National Bank Note Co. H. and I. Grilled Issue (Scott 134-144)3c Green, I. Grill (136A). Unused (no gum), clearly-defined grill, brilliant color and gorgeous centering, Extremely Fine Gem example of the scarcer I Grill, with 2010 P.S.E. certificate (XF-Superb 95; unpriced in SMQ above the grade of 90, SMQ $725.00 as 90), this should be priced in SMQ but the 2010 certificate was issued before the I Grills were elevated to major catalog number status, therefore the P.S.E. Population Report misses this example (no unused examples at any grade are listed by P.S.E.)
