Description
HB-139 EP-178 Reed-JG30 30¢ J. Gault Plain Frame Choice About New.About as close to Uncirculated as any piece of Encased Postage is ever likely to be found. The case is virtually untouched, with no signs of wear or marks. It also has a perfectly tight, unmarred original seal all the way around. The mica is as near to flawless as any we have ever seen, no matter if viewed head-on or by tilting the piece. The orange 30¢ stamp is very bright and beautifully centered. This is an unquestionably authentic example of the second highest denomination of Encased Postage. It also ranks right up there with the very finest 30¢ examples known. Reed considers the rarity of this piece to be an R-6, indicating 16-20 examples known. We feel that 20 or so is probably just about right. Of that number, not a single example could be nicer than this beauty.
