3c Ultramarine, Without Grill (114a). Slightly disturbed original gum, rich color and proof-like impression

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. AN EXTREMELY RARE 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 fifteen other unused examples in our computerized records, which includes all of our Rarities sales plus 15 years of auctions.

With 2009 P.S.E. certificate
