30c Black, Grill (143). H. Grill, unused (traces of original gum), intense shade, several clear vertical rows of grill pointsFINE AND RARE UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 1870 30-CENT NATIONAL BANK NOTE GRILLED ISSUE. ESPECIALLY SCARCE IN SOUND CONDITION.
The 30c National Grilled issue is perhaps the most difficult denomination to obtain in sound and unused condition. The centering on the example here typifies how this issue is normally found, but a review of our computerized records found that only a small potion of those we have offered were sound.
With 1988 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail as no gum
