<B>HB-109 EP-185 Scott-77 Reed-DR90 90¢ Drake's Plantation Bitters Very Fine.<BR>Numerical grade: 60case.75stamp.75mica. = 210</B></I> Although this is certainly a major rarity, Drake's is one of the more available 90¢ encasements. Reed considers it an R-8+, indicating five to seven known. We are aware of five: the Stack's June 2004 sale had two, and we know of two others plus this piece for a total of five. There very likely is at least one other. Reed' auction census shows thirteen appearances in 104 years, slightly more than either the 24¢ or 30¢ of this merchant. This one has seen some circulation, but it has remained problem free. The case, though lightly worn, is defect free, the mica has a few minor crazes at its outer edges but is perfectly clear, and the stamp has retained most all of its blue color but is centered to the left. A solid, problem-free example of an important rarity.<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>)
