5c Brown, F. Grill, Kiss Print (95 var). Deep rich color, showing an overall kiss print especially evident at top in lettering of "U.S. Postage", choice centering with well-balanced margins, unobtrusive strike of cork cancel leaves entire design clearly visible, Very Fine and choice, a rare variety on this issue and the only one we have encountered, the 5c F Grill is not known with a true double impression, the example offered here shows some doubling but one of the impressions lacks the clear lines of the engraving, which is a requirement of a true double impression, ex "Natalee Grace", with 1996, 2001 and 2012 P.F. certificates, the latter two confirming the kiss print.
