#97, 12c Black, "F" grill, an exciting mint example of this value from the "F" grill series, being one of the most challenging values to find in such outstanding quality, possessing exceptional centering within uncharacteristically large margins, plus it is marvelously fresh overall, with deep luxuriant color and an uncommonly clean impression for this, full o.g. that has been relatively lightly hinged, extremely fine; without question one of the finest original gum Twelve Cent "F" Grills we have ever offered; 1985 PF certificate; ex-Lessin.

#99, 24c Gray lilac, "F" grill, a very scarce mint single in much better quality than usually seen, being exceedingly fresh with intense rich color that is stronger than most, plus a highly detailed impression, while centered a bit to right this is actually quite well centered for the issue and surrounded by unusually crisp and even perforations, displaying full immaculate o.g. which has been only lightly hinged, nearly very fine; a choice example of this elusive mint Twenty Four Cent "F" grill; 2000 PF certificate.

#100, 30c Orange, "F" grill, a very rare mint example of this terribly difficult value, being in a much fresher state of preservation than almost any other we have seen, with gorgeous vibrant color and a strong detailed impression on crisp paper, quite well centered, especially when compared to the vast majority, full clean o.g., relatively lightly hinged, very fine; a condition rarity as this stamp is almost never found with original gum in any condition, let alone in this pristine state; 1993 PF certificate; ex-McKinney.

101

#101, 90c Blue, "F" grill, an extraordinarily rare offering of a mint example of this elusive and difficult stamp, being one of just a few certified original gum examples extant, possessing a marvelous overall freshness, with sumptuously rich color and an excellent clarity of impression on bright crisp paper, quite well centered within large margins, especially clean full o.g. which shows the grill impression superbly, lightly hinged, very fine and exceedingly choice; an enormously rare mint stamp that is missing in virtually every mint collection, no matter how comprehensive, for example even the impressive collections formed by Messrs. Weisman, Zoellner, Lyons, Floyd and Lessin did not have a single example of an original gum Ninety Cent "F" Grill; 1999 PF certificate; ex-McKinney. (Image)
