US - 1 cent Z Grill


US - 1¢ Z Grill, 85A, 1867 ( the america's rarest stamp )


GRILL: Rows of pyramid-shaped embossing, impressed into the back of certain stamps. Grills broke stamp fibers, letting cancellation ink sink in, making re-use impossible

Only two One-Cent Z Grill stamps are known to exist

Currently valued at $2.5 million, make it the most expensive stamp in USA.
