A WONDERFUL STAMP WHICH IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN THE GEM CONDITION, WHICH HAS POST OFFICE FRESH GUM, COLOR AND GRILL.
The 2¢ E. Grill is a surprisingly difficult stamp to find in this superb condition. It is much scarcer in this condition than the 2¢ F. Grill.nnAfter an online search, in our opinion, this is the finest mint single which is borne out by the fact that this example has realized the highest price for a mint 1867 2¢ E. Grill, $12,000 (Siegel Sale 826, Lot 248)
