Reed-AP24 24¢ Take Ayer's Pills Extremely Fine.<BR>Numerical grade: 75case.65stamp.60mica. = 200</B></I><BR> This denomination was missing from Stack's Western Collection and is listed as unique in Friedberg, Hodder-Bowers and Reed. Reed does not show a single auction appearance in his 1891-1994 census. The piece is a solid XF, with a problem-free natural medium-brass colored case. The stamp is slightly faded, and the mica, which is primarily clear, has a crazed area at the top center and a small crack at the bottom center. Mr. Mayer has not listed a source for this piece, but he has recorded his cost of $12,650.<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>)
