Price History for US Scott 134A in Used 85 Grade
Show Grade on Graph
Three things to keep in mind when looking at the above results (unsolds are not included):
- It is important to look at the individual data points listed below. Price swings up may be due to varieties such as broken hat or other positives such as cancels. Price swings down may be due to factors such as faults on items that would have graded higher if they were sound, and may not be considered as desirable as a sound copy in this grade.
- When looking at multiple grades on the graph, grades with the same population numbers may show overlapping.
- At the time of an auction, the SMQ value has already been published and is available to bidders. Increases or decreases in SMQ value prior to the auction may affect the price realized.

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1870 ONE-CENT NATIONAL BANK NOTE COMPANY I GRILL, GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 JUMBO BY P.S.E. THIS IS WITHOUT QUESTION ONE OF THE FINEST IN EXISTENCE.
Ex Merlin. With 2009 P.S.E. certificate (XF-Superb 95 Jumbo; unpriced in SMQ above the grade of 90). SMQ prices the 1c H Grill (Scott 134) at $2,750.00 in the grade of 95J, so this would no doubt be priced higher.


EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1870 ONE-CENT NATIONAL BANK NOTE COMPANY ISSUE WITH AN I GRILL. A PHENOMENAL STAMP IN EVERY RESPECT -- THIS IS THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED TO DATE TO A ONE-CENT I GRILL, WHICH HAS JUST BEEN ELEVATED TO A MAJOR CATALOGUE NUMBER.
We have been informed that, starting with the 2013 Scott U.S. Specialized Catalogue (usually published in October) the I Grills will be elevated to major catalogue number status. Collectors will now have to acquire these I Grills in their quest for completeness. We anticipate that collector demand will be difficult to satisfy based on populations we have seen.
With 1992 and 2003 P.F. certificates. With 2009 P.S.E. certificate (XF-Superb 95 Jumbo; SMQ does not take into consideration the different grill types, SMQ $1,050.00 as 95, $3,500.00 as 98). According to P.S.E. this is the highest grade awarded to a 1c I Grill (the Population Report does not differentiate between H and I Grills). Scott Catalogue value based on 2012 listing which does not distinguish between the grill types
