3c Rose, C. Grill (83). Rich color and detailed impression on bright paper, clearly-defined grill, wide and balanced margins, neat strike of quartered cork cancel EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1867 3-CENT C GRILL IN THE FINEST CONDITION ATTAINABLE. A REMARKABLE STAMP IN EVERY RESPECT. The 3c is the only denomination that comes with the distinctive C Grill, with the grill points facing up instead of down. Like the all-over A Grill this is classified as an experimental grill and saw limited production and use (probably in late 1867) just after the A Grill experiment and prior to the more widespread use of other grills in early 1868. The 3c B Grill, Scott 82, is only known from a cover dated Feb. 17, 1869, and was probably produced much later than the C Grill. With 2002 P.S.E. certificate (XF-Superb 95, SMQ price $9,600.00). This is the highest grade awarded and the only to achieve it.
