1c Blue, E. Grill (Scott 86). Original gum, lightly hinged, deep rich color, crisp paper, clearly-defined grill, one or two shortish perfs not mentioned on accompanying certificate VERY FINE. A SCARCE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 ONE-CENT E GRILL. 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, particularly in original-gum condition. With 2001 P.F. certificate Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Oct 2008, Sale 963, Lot 573 |

1c Blue, E. Grill (Scott 86). Perfectly centered with wide and well-balanced margins, brilliant color on bright paper, light strike of “Paid” cancel leaves design clearly visible, strong grill impression EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THE 1868 ONE-CENT E GRILL IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT STAMPS OF THE SERIES TO OBTAIN WITH SUCH CHOICE CENTERING AND IN SUCH PRISTINE CONDITION. THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE FINEST IN EXISTENCE — THE P.S.E. AGREES AND HAS AWARDED THIS STAMP THE GRADE OF SUPERB 98. THIS IS THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED TO DATE. We pulled this stamp out of an old album and felt so strongly about its condition, we sent it to P.S.E. for a graded certificate. They agreed with our assessment, awarding it the grade of Superb 98. The only other stamp to achieve this grade was offered in our sale of the Tahoe Collection, where it realized $22,000 hammer.
