1c Blue, E. Grill (Scott 86). Original gum, lightly hinged, bright color and proof-like impression on fresh paper, clear grill points, trivial natural gum bend which is extremely faint and not mentioned on accompanying certificate VERY FINE AND CHOICE. THE 1868 ONE-CENT E GRILL IS FAR SCARCER THAN ITS F GRILL COUNTERPART, PARTICULARLY IN ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION. Some time ago we observed that the 1c E Grill appeared at auction very infrequently, in any form. After analyzing the early 1868 regular-production grills (Z, D, E and F), we concluded that grilling of the 1c 1861 issue with the E (and Z) Grill must have been short-lived, occurring sometime around February 28, 1868. Later grilling of 1c stamps was probably done with the F Grill. Relatively little of the 1c E Grill supply appears to have reached the philatelic market, as evidenced by the stamp’s scarcity. Ex Scarsdale. With 1998 P.F. certificate Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Nov 2013, Sale 1057, Lot 648 |
