10c Green, E. Grill, "TAG" Double Transfer (89 var). Original gum, lightly hinged, warm shade, unusually wide and balanced margins

EXTREMELY FINE. A WONDERFUL ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 10-CENT E GRILL. THIS STAMP IS GRADED XF 90 BY P.S.E. -- THIS IS THE HIGHEST GRADE AND THE ONLY TO ACHIEVE IT.

A Power Search review shows how difficult it is to find this issue in sound, centered original-gum condition. Most have one margin significantly larger than the others, or are poorly centered.

Ex "Hanover". With 1997 P.F. and 2011 P.S.E. certificates (OGph, XF 90; SMQ $13,500.00). This is the highest grade awarded to an original-gum example and the only stamp to achieve it. Scott value with no premium for the double transfer, which is listed but unpriced
