2c Black, Z. Grill (Scott 85B). Clearly-defined grill points, beautiful centering with wide margins, sharp impression nicely contrasted by blue segmented cork cancel EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 2-CENT Z GRILL. The plates used to print the Black Jacks did not provide enough space between subjects for the large 12-gauge perf holes. Consequently, most Black Jack stamps have perfs touching the design on one or two sides. This scarcity of four-margined copies multiplies exponentially when the Z Grill is factored into the equation. Only a small quantity of 2c sheets were grilled during the period when the Z device was active — after the D Grill, the Z is the rarest of the Black Jack grilled stamps. Ex Drucker. With 1980 and 2002 P.F. certificates. Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Apr 2015, Sale 1096, Lot 163 |
