Scarce Rarity-5 Five Cents "Drake's Plantation Bitter's"

EP-74, HB-102, S-72, Five Cents, DRAKE'S PLANTATION BITTERS, About New.
Rated as Rarity-5 (21 to 30 Known) according to Fred Reed. This is an impressive example, having a very rich, fresh looking bold brown Jefferson stamp, that has just a hint of faint tone and is centered slightly to the upper right. It is seen under perfectly clear, unbroken mica. The case has perfect, natural even chestnut coloration. It has no defects and the glossy reverse legends are very distinct. This is an underrated, tough to locate denomination.
