 #99, 24c Gray lilac, "F" grill, a highly
desirable mint example of this notoriously difficult value, possessing an
impressive overall brilliance rarely seen, with gloriously rich color and a
prooflike impression on bright paper, while centered a bit to left this is
actually far better centered than the great majority of known mint
examples, in fact its perforations are essentially clear of the design all
around which is a very rare occurrence, full o.g., lightly hinged, very
fine and extraordinarily choice; of all the 1867 grilled issues, the Twenty
Four Cent "F" Grill ranks as one of the most challenging to locate in
premium original gum condition; 1991 and 2002 PF certificates. (Image) |

#99, 24c Gray lilac, "F"
grill, an exceedingly rare and eye-appealing used block of four, being
quite well centered for this perennially difficult stamp (although expertly
reperforated at left), outstanding rich color and impression, postmarked
with lovely light strikes of fancy leaf type cancellations in red,
very fine appearance; this block is considered to be the finest that
exists among the three or four known; ex-Emerson, Anderson and
Hanschen. (Image) |

 #100, 30c Orange, "F" grill, a very rare mint
example of this notoriously difficult value, being extraordinarily well
centered and margined, especially when compared to the small population of
mint singles, rich luxuriant color, full o.g. which is just slightly
disturbed, choice very fine; clear 1989 PF certificate and a 2002 PF
certificate. (Image) |

 #100, 30c Orange, "F" grill, a spectacular
quality used example that is easily one of the very finest used Thirty
Cent "F" grills extant, as this remarkable stamp is not only free of
the flaws usually associated with this value, but its margins and centering
are beyond compare, being incredibly well centered amid huge margins that
are never encountered, even its color is far more deep and luxuriant than
usual on bright fresh paper, choice strike of fancy geometric postmark in a
small circle, extremely fine; a marvelous used gem for the finest
collection; the Scott catalog states "Values for No. 100 are for copies
with small margins, especially at sides. Large-margined examples sell for
much more"; 2001 PF certificate.
