<B>HB-60? EP-160a? Scott-unl. Reed-unl. 24¢ Joseph L. Bates Fancy Goods Extremely Fine - May Not Be Authentic.<BR>Numerical grade: 50case.70stamp.65mica = 185</B></I> While not quite as blatant as the 1¢ Shillito above, this piece shows considerable evidence of tampering... way more than enough to include it in the "Highly Suspicious" section. The case shows crimping, and the insert has gouges all the way around outside the beading. Were it genuine, this would be a highly important piece. Fred Reed lists it as, "Two Known," neither of which we have seen. As with the piece above, "suspicious" does not equate precisely to "fake." But it sure effects value. Unlike the piece above, Mr. Mayer, unfortunately, paid a tidy sum for this highly questionable item.<BR><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>)
