Description
HB-223 EP-131 Scott-167 Reed-ST10 10¢ S. Steinfeld About New.Numerical grade: 85case.80stamp.75mica. = 240 As with the Five Cent, Fred Reed rates this as an R-9 with a question mark. This piece was acquired by Mr. Mayer as Lot 610 from the June '04 Stack's sale. Again, as with the Five Cent above, the Stack's cataloger believed this piece to be unique. We agree. The only example we have seen or can trace is the 10¢ Steinfeld that appeared in the 1941 B. Max Mehl sale of the Dunham Collection, which we believe to be this piece. The case is a rich gold and tan, with the gold appearing to be original luster. The stamp is well centered, and it is just a hair off fully fresh. And the mica shows only the most minor crazes at the outer edges. The small separation under Washington's chin is visible only when the piece is turned in the light.
