Very Fine condition, 5 Cents Jefferson, Scott # 7, the mica looks intact. This Encased Postage issue advertised at the time a highly popular hair tonic that was made from coconut oil and not the now illegal drug of cocaine. The pronunciation of "cocaine" is "coco-ine" according to page 151 of Civil War Encased Stamps The Issuers and Their Times by Fred L. Reed III. Also, page 146 tells us that "kalliston" is an emulsive lotion for improving the complexion.
