<B>HB-4 EP-unl. Scott-unl. Reed-AC01LA 1¢ Ayer's Cathartic Pills Long Arrows Very Fine, tampered.<BR>Numerical grade: 50case.85stamp.75mica. = 210</B></I><BR> Reed shows seven auction appearances for this very likely non-existent variety, several of which undoubtedly were this very piece. It is clearly tampered, and Mr. Mayer collected it as such. His notation with the piece reads, "99% fake; clearly tampered with and resealed, w/ obvious crimp marks about the edges - never seen genuine and suspect none may exist - worth $100 as a novelty." We've weighed removing this piece from the sale, but it certainly has interest to collectors, although there is very little value. It also is an obvious-enough fake of an extreme rarity that there is no danger of its re-entering the marketplace as genuine in the future. Offered without estimate, although Mr. Mayer's guess of $100 is likely in the ballpark.<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>)
