Does anyone see a grill on the back of this stamp that covers all of the stamp or some of the stamp. Thanks for looking Steve.  |

Sorry, Stever, hard for me to tell from the scan. Maybe someone
with better eyes for these can tell you. |

Try looking at it with side lighting......it generally shows grills better. |

I do see some irregular lines in the areas you mention.
However there is no clear matrix or boundaries which define a grilled area.
I would say no grill. |

With my untrained eye and the photo you provided it would be hard for me to say it is grilled. |

Adding my 1 cents worth, looking at enlarged pic with my 10x magnifying glass, and my reading glasses on I don't see any grill or any lines, looks like just soft porous paper to me. |

Guess my eyesight's better today , can see the grill without a magnifying glass. That's great1 You took advantage of the APS special?
As long as we're talking about grills have a U.S. #113 #114 that I just can't see a grill at all. can they be pressed out
to forge one without a grill? scott doesn't even list them used without a grill , the regular issues, I mean. |

Many grills are pressed out without a necessary intent to defraud. They are often pressed out simply by drying under pressure after soaking. On this one, I sure don't see a grill. And if APS did a quickie based on a scan, I'd sure be interested to know where they see it. |
