If by grade, you mean professional grading from PSE, the PF, or PSAG, I would not spend the money to get a graded cert, as that bottom margin is extremely close. I don't think a graded cert on this stamp would be worth it. |

Oh, it's not an unattractive stamp. I just don't think it will grade well numerically. |

Having a #2 is always a good thing.
I seem to be bar-counting challenged tonight but I'll say that appears to be an 11-bar cancel. Always nice. |

It is a very attractive stamp, clear on all four sides, no obvious faults from the photos. I'd be proud to have it in my collection. Why cast a pall over that by saddling it with a grade that might seem disappointingly low? |

In an auction anywhere else in the world, this would be described as something like "four margins, mainly large, close but clear at the bottom". No-one would ask some bozo in California to give it marks out of 100. Just say "no". |
