Lot	Sym.	Lot Description
1718		7c Vermilion, I. Grill (138A). Original gum, lightly hinged, two vertical rows of clear grill points in the early I Grill shape, brilliant color VERY FINE. A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1870 NATIONAL BANK NOTE WITH I GRILL. THE I GRILLS HAVE RECENTLY BEEN ELEVATED TO MAJOR CATALOGUE NUMBERS IN SCOTT CATALOGUE. A GREAT RARITY. Starting with the 2013 Scott U.S. Specialized Catalogue, the I Grills have been elevated to major catalogue number status. The listing is now consistent with other grill types such as A, B, C, D, Z, E and F Grills. 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, especially in original-gum condition. With 2012 P.S.E. certificate.
