#138, 7c Vermilion with grill, a phenomenal mint example of this rare Bank Note stamp, being in a condition that is next to impossible to locate and certainly among the very finest mint examples in existence, possessing physical attributes that would be impressive for any stamp, but are especially so for the grilled Bank Notes, including magnificent centering amid the most lavishly large margins we have ever seen on this value, and just as striking is this stamp's fabulous color that is both intense and vibrant, full o.g. which shows the grill impression well, lightly hinged, extremely fine; an incredible gem destined for placement in the finest collection of mint United States classics; 1989 PF certificate.

#140, 12c Dull violet with grill, the used example offered here is, in all likelihood, the finest quality used Twelve Cent Grilled Bank Note in existence, as this magnificent stamp possesses every physical attribute that is typically lacking on other known examples, including being absolutely perfectly centered amid enormously large margins which are terribly uncharacteristic of this series in general and of this value in particular, its color is incredibly deep and rich (not the pale shade so often seen), and its perforations all around are uniformly intact and long, all beautifully postmarked with a desirable and neat target cancel that complements its overall eye appeal, the only example we have ever seen worthy of the lofty grade of superb; while a few attractive #140's have surfaced on the market in recent years, none comes close to the phenomenal quality that this wonderful stamp enjoys; 1971 PF certificate as a pair, and a 1986 PF certificate as a single; (Image)
