85B

#85B, 2c Black, "Z" grill, used, unusually well centered and margined, as most existing examples of the Two Cent "Z" grill are found with their perforations heavily cutting the design, intense shade and a crisp impression on bright paper, full clear grill, wonderfully postmarked by a blue cancel which is confined to the far left, leaving most of the central vignette cancel free, very fine for this; 1991 PF certificate.

85C

#85C, 3c Rose, "Z" grill, an exciting used example of a stamp that is almost never found in the premium condition this extraordinary stamp possesses, featuring virtually perfect centering that is almost unheard of on this notoriously poorly centered stamp, with very large margins all around (particularly at sides), deep rich color, beautifully postmarked by both a neat black town c.d.s. and a boldly struck letter "B" cancel, excellent complete grill impression, extremely fine; a very scarce stamp in any condition, but a true rarity in this gem quality; 1999 PF certificate.

#87, 2c Black, "E" grill, an extraordinarily fresh and attractive example of this surprisingly elusive and difficult stamp, featuring strong color and impression, plus its margins are considerably larger than usual for a "Black Jack" issue, well centered, full clean o.g., lightly hinged, very fine; it has been our experience that many of the impressive United States stamp collections we have sold over the past five years often lack this stamp; 1988 PF certificate.

#95, 5c Brown, "F" grill, a true "post office" fresh mint example, being in a condition that is most remarkable for a stamp of this vintage, brilliantly fresh and crisp overall, with sumptuously rich color and a wonderfully detailed impression on immaculate paper, quite well centered for the issue, unblemished o.g. without a single gum bend or skip, never hinged, very fine and choice; an exciting opportunity for the collector who seeks out only never hinged stamps, no matter how challenging or daunting the task; photocopy of a 1999 PF certificate for a block of four, this being the bottom right stamp.

#98, 15c Black, "F" grill, a magnificent mint example that is brilliantly fresh and crisp overall, with outstanding rich color and a razor-sharp impression on crisp clean paper, quite well centered and margined for this perennially difficult stamp, pristine full o.g. which shows just the slightest trace of hinging, excellent grill impression, very fine and exceedingly choice; a superlative mint copy of this stamp, which is far more rare in sound original gum condition than most collectors and dealers realize, let alone in this premium condition, as virtually none of the great mint one-of-a-kind collections offered at auction in the past several years had a single example; 2000 PF certificate.
