3c Rose, Z. Grill (85C). Unused (no gum), clearly-defined grill, rich color, attractive margins and centering, most recent certificate notes a small stain spot removed at upper right, which we fail to detect, and a small corner crease at bottom right, which is really a bendVERY FINE APPEARING UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 3-CENT Z GRILL.
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, especially in unused condition.
With 1972 and 2018 P.F. certificates
