3c Ultramarine, Without Grill (114a). Original gum, fresh and bright, lovely color

FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE 3-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE WITHOUT GRILL. THE LOWER-VALUE 1869'S WITHOUT GRILL ARE MUCH RARER THAN THE HIGH VALUES, AND THEY ARE SELDOM ENCOUNTERED IN CHOICE CONDITION.

We have only offered thirteen other unused examples in our computerized records, which includes all of our Rarities sales plus 14 years of auctions.

With 2008 P.S.E. certificate
