2c Black, E. Grill, Very Thin Paper (87 var). Detailed impression, gorgeous centering with wide and balanced margins, neat strike of red "N.Y. Post Office" circular datestamp cancel, manuscript "n.y." on back barely shows thru on a few grill points and is not mentioned on certificate

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A GORGEOUS USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 2-CENT E GRILL ON VERY THIN PAPER.

With 2007 P.S.E. certificate (XF-Superb 95; SMQ $2,150.00 as normal paper). Only three grade higher (two at 95J and one at 98J). SMQ does not separate the paper types so this may be the highest grade awarded to the very thin paper variety. Scott Retail as normal paper
