15c Black, E. Grill (91). Original gum, clearly-defined grill, pretty shadeVERY FINE AND CHOICE. A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 15-CENT E GRILL.
As an indication of the rarity of 15c E Grill stamps with original gum, the Scott Catalogue values Scott 91 at $4,500.00 without gum, and $12,000.00 with original gum. This stamp, with its unusually balanced margins, full original gum, clear grill and overall freshness, is truly a remarkable rarity.
Ex Weisman and Hoffman. With 1989 P.S.E. and 1984 and 2004 P.F. certificates.
