5c Brown, F. Grill, Very Thin
Paper (95 var). Unused (no gum), intense shade, rich color, clear
grill, well-centered with perfs clear on all sidesEXTREMELY FINE AND CHOICE. A VERY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE THIN PAPER VARIETY. UNDERCATALOGUED IN SCOTT. The National Bank Note Co. undoubtedly made various attempts to improve grilling quality and efficiency through modifications in the process. Based on surviving stamps, it appears that one modification involved the use of very thin paper, which probably allowed two or more sheets to be grilled in one pass through the grilling device. The 1c (F), 2c (E and F), 3c (E and F), 5c (F), 10c (F), 12c (F) and 15c (F) are found on this very thin paper. They are scarce, particularly the 5c-15c values in original-gum condition. With 1975 and 1999 P.F. certificates (Image) |
