 #92, 1c Blue, "F" grill, an exciting used single
that possesses several impressive qualities that are rarely encountered on
this difficult stamp, as this stamp possesses stunning deep color and a
razor-sharp impression on fresh white paper, which is quite unlike that
vast majority of #92's, which are lightly printed and on toned paper,
additionally it is exceptionally well centered within extravagantly wide
margins, and to top it all off, it is cancelled by a fancy rosette of
Ripon, Wisconsin, extremely fine; one of the most visually appealing
used example of this stamp we have ever seen; 1990 PF certificate. (Image) |

extravagantly large margins which are most uncharacteristic of the One Cent
"F" grill, warm color, full o.g., lightly hinged, extremely fine; a true
condition rarity; 2002 PF certificate.

possessing mathematically precise centering amid uncharacteristically large
margins, plus its color is considerably deeper than usual and its

fine gem; a terribly scarce stamp in this premium condition and, in our
opinion, woefully undercataloged considering how few truly nice mint
examples are offered; 1995 PF certificate.
