Sale 1305, Lot 2324, 1867-68 Grilled Issue (Scott 79-101)

30c Orange, F. Grill (100). Vibrant color, clear grill which is easily discernible on the front of the stamp, bold strike of large circle of wedges cancel and also traces of blue cancel

EXTREMELY FINE. THE 1868 30-CENT F GRILL IS ONE OF THE MOST ELUSIVE CLASSIC UNITED STATES ISSUES IN THIS SUPERB QUALITY.

Ex Merlin. With 2007 P.S.E. (XF 90) and 2015 P.F. certificates. Only two grade higher (both 95), but this stamp really should have the Jumbo appellation, bringing it closer to the stamps graded 95. Scott Catalogue states "Values for No. 100 are for copies with small margins, especially at sides. Large-margined examples sell for much more."
