5c Brown, F. Grill (95). Original gum, lightly hinged, clearly-defined grill, pretty shade, choice centering for this difficult issue

EXTREMELY FINE. A GORGEOUS ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 5-CENT F GRILL IN A REMARKABLY FRESH STATE OF PRESERVATION. A GREAT CONDITION RARITY.

Original-gum singles and blocks of the 5c F Grill tend to be in rather poor condition, either in terms of centering, color or overall condition.

With 1987 P.F. certificate
