90c Carmine, H. Grill (144). Block of four, deep rich color, bottom left stamp shows clear grill points, bold circle of wedges cancels, small crease at bottom right

VERY FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE USED BLOCK OF THE 1870 90-CENT NATIONAL GRILLED ISSUE.

There are probably no more than four used blocks of the 90c 1870 Grill (including one block of seven), and, to the best of our knowledge, this is the best-centered block and also the only used multiple that is essentially sound.

Ex Twigg-Smith. With 1987 P.F. certificate noting that grill shows only on lower left stamp. Scott value $13,500.00.
