Description
Extremely Rare Five Cent B. F. Miles
HB-183 EP-86 Scott-135 Reed-MI05 5¢ B. F. Miles About New.Numerical grade: 80case.80stamp.70mica. = 230 The Five Cent Miles is the "Collectable" denomination, rated by Reed as an R-8, indicating five to ten known. The case is a lovely AU, with some silvering remaining behind most of the letters. The stamp is beautifully fresh, but a bit off center to the right. The mica has a few contact indentations on its surface and a small craze at the top center above Jefferson's head. This piece was the December 1969 Arnold Perl example, Lot 1032. It is photographed in that catalog, and realized an astounding $360. The Stack's June 04 piece, which was not quite as nice as this example, realized $14,950 and we would expect this nicer piece, three years later, to do considerably better.
