1870, 2¢ red brown, grilled (135), beautifully centered and exceptionally fresh. With flawless, never hinged original gum. Very Fine and choice. NH examples are not priced by SMQ.
Scott $1,300 ++
THIS IS THE HIGHEST GRADE YET GIVEN BY P.S.E. TO A NEVER HINGED 2¢ GRILL; IN FACT, ONLY TWO HINGED EXAMPLES HAVE BEEN GRADED HIGHER.
Expertization: 2007 P.S.E. Certificate graded VF 80.
Frankly, we feel this stamp should have been awarded at least an 85, but that is not for us to decide.
