<B>HB-67 EP-8 Scott-38 Reed-BU01 1¢ F. Buhl & Co. Extremely Fine.<BR>Numerical grade: 75case.80stamp.80mica. = 235</B></I> The case is multitoned and attractive, with a touch of silver behind a few of the letters. The stamp is very nicely centered, and only a touch toned down. The mica is flawless in most places, with a short crack at the very outer edge behind Franklin's head. Reed considers this One Cent Buhl as an R-8, indicating five to ten pieces known, a range with which we are inclined to agree. We've handled four over the years, and we suspect eight or ten examples known. This piece was Lot 962 from the Arnold Perl sale held by Stack's on December 6, 1969. Prior to that, it had been in a February 1965 Herst 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>)
