30c Ultramarine & Carmine, Double Grill (121 var). Perfectly centered with wide margins, bold strike of propeller-style cork cancel, both grills clearly visible (though one is slightly fainter)

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE FINEST EXAMPLE OF THE 30-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE WITH DOUBLE GRILL. AN EXTREMELY RARE VARIETY OF THIS POPULAR ISSUE. THIS IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE WE HAVE OFFERED SINCE KEEPING COMPUTERIZED RECORDS.

Ex Lake Shore. With 1985 and 2005 P.F. certificates. Massively undercatalogued in Scott -- this stamp realized $6,000 hammer when we sold it in 2004, and the P.F. has certified less than a half-dozen as genuine in any condition.
