Scarce Rarity-6 Three Cents "Brown's Bronchial Troches"

EP-38, HB-63, S-32, Three Cents, BROWN'S BRONCHIAL TROCHES, Extremely Fine.
Rated as Rarity-6 (16 to 20 known), according to Fred Reed. The rich red George Washington stamp is seen through clear, unbroken mica that has one thin lamination crack in the left field in front of his face. The golden-chestnut case is very clean and defect-free, having sharp, clear legends on the reverse. Only a handful of examples of this EP number are actually known. The last example we sold was in our EAHA Auction of February 9, 2008, Lot 785, graded EF, selling for $710.
