Sale 1235, Lot 1064, 1867-68 Grilled Issue (Scott 79-101)2c Black, E. Grill (87). Original gum, very lightly hinged (certified in 1991 by the P.F. as Mint N.H.), strong grill impression, choice centering on fresh paper with long and full perforations all around

VERY FINE AND CHOICE LIGHTLY HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 2-CENT E GRILL. A SCARCE STAMP IN THIS SUPERIOR ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION.

Of the grilled stamps that were produced in greater quantities (the low-denomination E and F Grills), the 2c E Grill is a surprisingly difficult stamp to find in choice original-gum condition. It is much scarcer in this condition than the 2c F Grill.

1991 P.F. certificate no longer accompanies. With 2003 P.F. certificate
