Hello,

can someone help me with this stamp?

It seems to be a #86 unused with a little bit of gum never hinged.

What do you think? Is the grill real or could it be a fake grill?

Thanks for your help and opinions!

Looks like an good E grill, though a more zoomed in image would help confirm. Generally you can't call it never hinged unless it is full gum. Most people would probably consider that either unused/no gum or at best part original gum. In any case, 86 unused is nice stamp if sound. I would examine the perfs on the left side carefully. They look uneven which might indicate a reperf.

Rsiny I agree with most of what you said but why would you think it is reperfed on left side? The side cut into the image? I would think that would decrease the value over a straight edge.

People do reperfs for all kinds of reasons. I just based it on a quick attempt to line up the perfs. I just did a more careful look and actually the perfs are lined up ok. Probably not a concern.

It's probably an illusion, but the grill appears to be points up (pointing up on the inked side). If so, it's either an error or counterfeit.
