 #90, 12c Black, "E" grill, an exciting mint
example that possesses numerous desirable characteristics which rarely
converge on a single stamp, beginning with its excellent centering within
considerably wider margins than typically found on this always difficult
stamp, plus its color is remarkably intense and its impression razor sharp
on fresh white paper, its reverse sports full original gum that is lightly
hinged, extremely fine; collectors of premium quality mint classics will
recognize the Twelve Cent "E" Grill as being one of the most challenging
stamps to find, making this example, with its margins, freshness and full
original gum, an incredibly rare opportunity; 2005 PSE certificate. (Image) |

 #91, 15c Black, "E" grill, an extraordinary

stamp's exceptional centering amid exceedingly large margins, full o.g.,
lightly hinged, extremely fine; among the finest original gum Fifteen
Cent "E" grills available; 2002 PF certificate; ex-"Silver

98 |
 #98, 15c Black, "F" grill, an incredibly choice
mint example of this rare grilled stamp, being one of the finest known
Fifteen Cent "F" grills in existence, as this stamp possesses
outstanding centering within exceptionally large margins, in addition it
features deep intense color and a prooflike impression on bright white
paper, unusually well defined grill, full o.g., lightly hinged, an
extremely fine gem certain to please even the most fastidious collector;
this is, by far, the highest graded mint #98 in the PSE population
report, whether with or without gum, the next highest being only a 70;
1999 PF certificate and a 2004 PSE certificate (XF 90; SMQ $10,400.00);

 #99, 24c Gray lilac, "F" grill, a very rare
premium quality mint example of a stamp that is missing from even the most
advanced collections of mint United States stamps, being among a select few

gum, remarkably fresh, with rich luxuriant and an especially crisp
impression on bright white paper, far better centering that normally
encountered on this value, uncommonly fresh o.g., lightly hinged, very
fine; 1988 PF certificate and a 2004 PSE certificate (VF 80; SMQ
$10,000.00). (Image) |

 #100, 30c Orange, "F" grill, a very rare mint
example of this terribly difficult value, being in a much fresher state of
preservation than almost any other we have seen, with gorgeous vibrant
color and a strong detailed impression on crisp paper, quite well centered,
especially when compared to the vast majority, full clean o.g., relatively
lightly hinged, very fine; a condition rarity as this stamp is almost never
found with original gum in any condition, let alone in this pristine state;
1993 PF certificate; ex-McKinney, Lewis.

remarkably fresh as well, with intense "jet" black color and a well incised

 #109, 24c Deep violet re-issue, the mint single
offered here of this difficult re-issue is, by far, one of the freshest

not be more brilliant or crisp, marvelous centering as well, with no part
of the design being impinged by perforations (a rare trait on this value),
remarkably clean full o.g. that has been only lightly hinged, extremely
fine in every regard; easily among the finest original gum examples
available of the mere 346 sold; 2001 PF certificate; ex-Stephen
Brown, Hall and Lewis. (Image) |
