<B>HB-101 EP-42 Scott-71 Reed-DR03 3¢ Drake's Plantation Bitters Extremely Fine.<BR>Numerical grade: 70case.70stamp.50mica. = 190</B></I> The case is lovely and problem free, the stamp is reasonably fresh and the mica, while intact, shows some crazing at the edges and some minor cracks and scratches at its center. Mr. Mayer pedigreed this piece to the Stack's Arnold Perl sale in 1969, and it certainly matches the description of Lot 994. Interestingly, this piece, which was one of the most ordinary in the Perl sale, realized $52.50 nearly 40 years ago. That same sale had a beautiful run of uncirculated Barber Dimes which brought $22.50 to $45.<BR><I>From The Frederick Mayer Collection</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
