1867, 3¢ rose, D. grill (85), precisely centered with mathematical precision and large even margins, bright and fresh with a light grid cancellation. Superb. SMQ $10,300.
Scott $1,100

A PHENOMENAL EXAMPLE OF THE 3¢ D. GRILL, HAVING SUPERIOR CENTERING AND LAVISH MARGINS THAT CAN HARDLY BE IMPROVED UPON. THIS IS QUITE POSSIBLY THE FINEST EXAMPLE IN EXISTENCE.

Expertization: 2006 P.F. Certificate graded Superb 98.

The majority of 3¢ D. grills in used condition are poorly centered with small margins. A search of recent auction sales yielded no examples that compare to the one offered here.
