Encased Postage Stamps
Scarce Rarity-6 Ten Cents "AYER'S SARSAPARILLA"

EP-98a, HB-36, S-17, Ten Cents, AYER'S SARSAPARILLA, Medium "AYER'S," Plain Frame, Extremely Fine.
Rated as Rarity-6 (16 to 20 Known) according to Fred Reed. This is a very pleasing and collectable example. It has a fairly well centered, deep bold green George Washington stamp that is seen under clear mica, with one very small area missing just to the right of Washington's right shoulder. The case is a pleasing light natural chestnut in color and is otherwise defect-free. The reverse legends are sharp and distinct, the lettering of the text being highlighted by substantial traces of light original Silvering. An attractive example of this scarcer Ten Cents denomination and Merchant type.



Early American will accept payment by check or credit card.
