Choice TAKE AYER’S PILLS Encased Postage Stamp
EP-3, HB-17, S-8. Reed-AP01. One Cent. TAKE AYER’S PILLS. Extremely Fine.
Rated as Rarity-3 (41 to 50 known) according to Fred Reed. A scarcer denomination, tougher to locate than one might expect, specially in this lovely quality. The mica has a natural lamination near the upper rim with a small craze at the lower left rim edge to the bottom of Franklin’s bust. The deep blue Benjamin Franklin Stamp is well centered and attractive. The case is defect-free with a natural chestnut tone and has very sharp distinct details. A very collectible example.
