3c Rose, C. Grill (83). Deep rich color on bright paper, choice centering with wide and balanced margins, long and full perforations all around, bold strike of quartered cork cancel beautifully accentuates the clear grill points 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. Ex Blocker. With 1989 and 2004 P.F. certificates.
