<B>HB-139 EP-178 Scott-100 Reed-JG30 30¢ J. Gault Extremely Fine.<BR>Numerical grade: 65case.80stamp.80mica = 225</B></I> The case has a strange manufacturing defect at its left, where it appears the metal was scored for cutting. It affects only the back portion and not the rim, and is clearly pre-production. Save for that defect, the dark, natural colored case is fully as nice as the exceptional stamp and mica. A common Thirty as a J. Gault, but a rare denomination. This piece was formerly Lot 1082 from the December 1969 Arnold Perl Collection sale, where it was referred to as, "Mica in excellent condition. Very rare, especially so choice."<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>)
