3c Ultramarine, Without Grill (114a). Original gum, rich color on bright paper, choice centering for this difficult issue with wide and balanced margins

EXTREMELY FINE. A VERY 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 sixteen other unused examples in our computerized records, which includes all of our Rarities sales plus 14 years of auctions. The stamp offered here has been off the market for approximately 50 years.

With 1994 P.F. certificate
