<B>HB-233 EP-133 Scott-177 Reed-WL10 10¢ Weir & Larminie Extremely Fine.<BR>Numerical grade: 80case.75stamp.65mica. = 220</B></I> About thirty-five or so Ten Cent Weir and Larminies are known. And over the years, this cataloger has seen probably two thirds of them. For some reason, this issue and denomination is almost always seen with some degree of corrosion on the back of the case. In many instances it is so severe as to pretty much ruin the piece. This example is totally free of corrosion, and it is one of only five 10¢ Weirs that we known of without this problem. The case is a lovely, problem-free medium brown, the stamp is ideally centered and reasonably fresh, and the mica is substantially clear though with a few crazes and one crack that runs along the outer edge of the top from above Washington's head to the right tab. Mr. Mayer attributes this piece to Stack's February 1969 sale.<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>)
