Kirkpatrick & Gault. 3 Cents. HB-161, EP-50, S-114. Choice About Uncirculated. A stunning offering on this denomination and issuer and the first of an impressive grouping on the Kirkpatrick & Gault series within this magnificent collection. These Three Cent pieces are rare with Reed listing them at a R-8 rating. This piece is certainly one of the finest examples as it was part of the Western Collection and later traveling through the Mayer portfolio of Encased Postage Stamps. The back shows near complete silvering and the mica is near perfect in both lights. The stamp shows with two small holes with the lower one at Washington's neck the larger. Bold red color remains and the denomination at bottom is terrifically placed.
