This grill seems to almost cut through the stamp. Pretty sure it's just the E Grill. I just haven't seen one that looks like this.



I picked this up again because it's been bugging me. Long story short...simply rotating the image shows what looks like "points up". Is this accurate? What do you think?

The paper behind it, almost looks corrugated.

Could it be the paper showing through?

Paper is smooth. The lines are printed on.
I've just not seen a grill that bites in like this.

The C grill is only found in the dull rose shade. It's a very wide grill compared to the normal E and F grills, and in most cases, the points should be UP, or coming up through the face of the stamp.

This is definitely not a C grill...sorry, Ray

Ray.mac, thanks. No sorry. I didn't purchase this cover as a #83. It was in a book of covers I bought.

So the E and F grills have the points coming "up" through the face/front of the stamp? That's what I'm seeing on my originally posted stamp, which is the bottom stamp of my follow up post.

No surprise, I've gotten it backwards lol.
So it is what I originally thought. A heavily grilled #88.

No, the grill points are UP on the A, B, C grills
Down on all others.
