<B>HB-225 EP-28 Scott-169 Reed-TA01 1¢ N & G Taylor Choice About New.<BR>Numerical grade: 85case.75stamp.95mica. = 255</B></I> N & G Taylor is one of the rarest of the Encased Postage issuers. The Hodder-Bowers book states, "Denominations known include 1¢ through 12¢. None is really collectable." Fred Reed considers this One Cent denomination to be an R-7, indicating eleven to fifteen known. We basically agree, but are more inclined to ten or eleven. In any event, this One Cent denomination is by far the most available of the N & G Taylor pieces. It is a happy coincidence that Mr. Mayer's 1¢ example of this very rare merchant is also one of his highest quality encasements. The case is a beautiful AU, with considerable original color behind most of the letters. The stamp is quite fresh, but it has been folded prior to encasement. The mica is 100% crystal clear, with no evidence whatever of crazing, separation or defect of any kind. A highly important encasement.<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>)
