2c Black, Z. Grill (85B). Block of four, traces of original gum, intense shade and impression, clearly-defined grills, rejoined vertically, few other perf separations sensibly reattached, faint overall toning FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE BLOCK OF FOUR OF THE 1868 2-CENT Z GRILL, WHICH IS ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL GRILLED ISSUE MULTIPLES. PERHAPS TWO OR THREE ARE KNOWN. Only a small quantity of 2c sheets were grilled during the period when the Z device was active — after the D Grill (Scott 84), the Z is the rarest of Black Jack grilled stamps. We were only able to locate two other unused blocks. One was offered in our 1970 Rarities sale and was well-centered (top pair creased), so that may have been broken to feed collector demand for choice singles. The other has perfs into the design on two sides and a few faults. Ex Allen and Metzger.
