The double grill is listed but not priced in unused condition. The Scott Retail value for a used stamp with double grill is $1,200 compared with $650 for a used stamp with one grill (185%). Using this ratio, the unused stamp with double grill should be approximately $9,250. When the superb condition is factored into the equation, the current market value becomes much higher.
