<B>HB-115 EP-166 Scott-83</B></I> <B>Reed-EM24 24¢ Ellis McAlpin & Company Very Fine.<BR>Numerical grade: 60case.65stamp.65mica. = 190</B></I> Surprisingly, the 24¢ is one of the most common denominations for this merchant. Reed shows 24 auction appearances in his 104-year survey period, and considers it to be an R-8, with five to ten examples known. The Stack's June 2004 catalog considers the piece "Ten to a dozen," and we tend to agree. It is actually one of the more available of the 24¢ encasements. The case is quite dark, with minor corrosion at the seam. The mica is clear, but with a number of surface marks, and the stamp is toned down.<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>)
