12c Black, E. Grill (90). Original gum, clearly-defined grill, unusually choice centering for this difficult issue, small flaw at bottom left (most likely a faint crease)EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. THIS IS A DIFFICULT ISSUE TO OBTAIN WITH SUCH CHOICE CENTERING.
The 12c E Grill is extremely difficult to obtain with choice centering. For graded, P.S.E. lists only one with gum (at 50) and the P.F. has also only graded one (at 75). For ungraded, very few match the centering of the example offered here. Collectors looking for Extremely Fine centering are strongly encouraged to consider the example offered here.
With 1969 P.F. certificate.
