30c Orange, F. Grill (100). Unused (no gum), bright color, clearly defined grill, remarkably wide and balanced margins for this narrow-spaced issue
VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A FRESH AND BEAUTIFUL WIDE-MARGINED UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 30-CENT F GRILL.
For the U.S. Classics collector more concerned with margins and centering than with gum, this is the ideal example of the 30c F Grill.
Ex Gorham and Hall. With 1984, 2001 P.F. and 2018 P.S.E. certificates (VF 80). We feel this grade is very conservative for this choice stamp. Even so, just one unused stamp in any gum condition grades higher (at 90, no gum) and two others share this 80 grade (one each original gum and no gum).
