3c Red, F. Grill (94). Almost mathematically perfect centering with wide margins, vivid color on bright paper, nicely complemented by blue town cancel, Extremely Fine Gem, a superb stamp in every respect, ex Kirke, with 2009 P.S.E. certificate (Superb 98; SMQ $1,100.00), only one grades higher (at 98J, we have never offered it) and one other shares this grade, a shockingly low population and a vivid demonstration of the difficulty in finding even the most common used classic stamps in the highest grades
