#94, 3c Red, "F" grill, an eye-arresting mint example of this challenging and, in our opinion, undercataloged grilled stamp, boasting enormously large margins and being exceptionally well centered within them, particularly strong color and impression on bright fresh paper, full clean o.g., lightly hinged, extremely fine; a stamp that is almost never encountered with margins of this size; 2004 PF certificate.

#94, 3c Red, "F" grill, a phenomenal used single, with immense jumbo margins all around and being incredibly well centered within them, bright fresh color and sharp impression, beautifully surrounded with full crisp perforations, and topped off by an exceptionally light face-free cancel, extremely fine jumbo; this stamp would be impressive regardless of the Scott number, but it is particularly striking in the normally poorly centered grill issues; 2001 PF certificate.

#95, 5c Brown, "F" grill, a brilliant "post office" fresh mint example, possessing an overall mint "bloom" that is rarely encountered on stamps of this vintage, with rich luxuriant color and a strong impression, quite well centered, brilliant full o.g. which shows the grill impression perfectly, never hinged, just a trace of slight offset as often found on the small existing population of never hinged examples, very fine and exceedingly choice; few Five Cent "F" Grills exist in such pristine condition, those that do come from a small group of multiples that were found in the past decade and have been broken up to satisfy the demand for premium quality singles, virtually every example from this cache has some trace of slight offset on the reverse; 1992 PF certificate; ex-Lessin.
