Encased Postage Stamps
Joseph L. Bates One Cent “FANCYGOODS” Rarity-6
EP-6a, HB-49,S-26, Reed-BA01FG. One Cent. JOSEPH L. BATES. “FANCYGOODS” One Word Type. Boston. Choice Extremely Fine
Rated as Rarity-6 (16 to 20 known) according to Fred Reed. This beautiful encasement has only some slight friction and has a bright golden-chestnut brass color with the back showing a central portion of original Silvering within the legends. The stamp is a vivid, bright deep blue and is very well centered. The mica is clear, near perfect but for a couple trivial natural laminations at the rim edge, as made. This rarer type is not priced in “Civil War Encased Postage Stamps” by Fred Reed in this high quality. Since 1995, this is only the forth example of EP-6a we’ve offered, the first sold in our EAHA Auction of December 2009, Lot 529, selling for $1,416. A very bold and vivid looking example.
