EP-114, HB-123, S-91, 10¢, GAGE BROTHERS & DRAKE, "Tremont House," Plain Frame, Very Fine.
Rated as Rarity-5 (21 to 30 known) according to Fred Reed. The stamp is deep green and well centered with some faint tone of Washington's forehead. The mica has several areas of light craze with a more major angled crack from below Washington's neck and between the bottom edge. The case is medium chestnut in color, being very sharp in detail, with traces of original Silvering hidden within the legends. A decent, affordable example for the collector wanting a mid-range valued example. EX: EAHA Auction, December 12, 1998, Lot #405.
