Sold on 8 Jun 2002 to "stazy4" for $27.99 and described as:
89 - EXCELLENT COLOR!!! - SCV $300 - E Grill
“Nice stamp with tiny pen cancel and 'E' grill. You should be able to see the grill in the scan.”
The stamp was cleaned and reperforated along its left edge. It then found a new life on the right.
Educational Part:
When one looks at the original stamp on the left and the image above,
it becomes painfully clear that the stamp is seriously narrow for the
issue. This is called a reperf job with the intent to make the stamp have
more "eye appeal".
Also note that the cool pen cancel has been most likely bleached away. The intent here is to make the stamp appear "unused".
