Sale 1224, Lot 100, 1867-68 Grilled Issue1c Blue, E. Grill (86). Rich color on bright paper, clearly-defined grill, quartered cork cancel struck in such a way that Franklin's face is clearly visible, beautiful centering with Jumbo margins

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A PHENOMENAL USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 ONE-CENT E GRILL. WITHOUT QUESTION ONE OF THE FINEST IN EXISTENCE.

With 2007 P.S.E. certificate (XF-Superb 95 Jumbo; SMQ $8,500.00). With 2012 P.F. certificate (XF-Superb 95). We are surprised the P.F. did not also give this a Jumbo designation, which it obviously deserves
