1c Blue, F. Grill, Thin Paper (92 var). Vibrant color, clearly-defined grill, neat strike of circular datestamp, Extremely Fine example of this paper variety, with 2014 P.S.E. certificate (VF-XF 85; SMQ $700.00), with 2015 P.F. certificate (XF-Superb 95, without mention of thin paper), bidders will have to reconcile these widely divergent grades (P.S.E.'s Population Report prices a 95 at $4,250.00), but we feel the true grade is closer to the P.F.'s call on this outstanding stamp
