3c Rose, C. Grill (83). Original gum, clearly-defined grill which is easily visible on the front of the stamp, brilliant color and paper, well-balanced marginsEXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1867 3-CENT C GRILL.
The 3c is the only regularly issued denomination that comes with the distinctive C Grill, with the grill points facing up instead of down. The few high-grade original-gum examples owe their existence to the division of blocks of four.
