FINE. A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1867 3-CENT GRILLED ALL OVER STAMP.
The experimental A Grill covered the entire stamp. On most examples, this caused the perforations to virtually disintegrate when the stamps were separated. When the unsatisfactory effects of the grilling process were observed during this experimental stage, the grill was reduced to a smaller area within the borders of each stamp.
With 1975, 1988 and 2005 P.F. certificates. (Image)

FRESH AND FINE. A RARE SOUND ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 3-CENT Z GRILL. THIS IS ONE OF THE SCARCEST OF THE REGULARLY-PRODUCED GRILLED ISSUES.
The 3c Z Grill was in production for only a short period of time before the device was replaced with the F Grill. Only a small number of 3c sheets were fed thru the Z Grill, which accounts for the rarity of surviving examples, especially in sound, original-gum condition.
