2c Black, Z. Grill (85B). Original gum, clearly-defined grill, detailed impression, centered to bottom left

FINE FOR THIS DIFFICULT ISSUE. A SCARCE SOUND ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 2-CENT Z GRILL.

This is one of the most difficult grilled issues to obtain with decent centering. For example, the P.S.E. Population Report lists only five OG stamps, graded 10 (two), 20, 30 and 50.

With 1996 P.F. certificate
