A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 2-CENT D GRILL.

Excluding the supremely rare grilled stamps -- 5c and 30c A Grill, 3c B Grill, 1c, 10c and 15c Z Grills -- the 3c Z Grill and 2c D Grill are the two rarest of the regularly-produced grilled issues (the 3c Z being somewhat rarer). Sound examples of the 2c D Grill with original gum are extremely elusive.
