Description

HB-116 EP-14 Reed-EV01 1¢ G. G. Evans Very Fine.
The Franklin 1¢ stamp is centered, but slightly faded with light staining. Tilting the piece brings into view crazing that covers the mica. A tiny hole is also observed at 8 o'clock. The olive-gold case has small indentations on the left and right tabs. Reed rates this number as a R-7, 11-15 known. Evans was a successful Philadelphia book publisher who went on to later sell at the United States Mint and outside it, the numismatic best seller, Illustrated History of the United States Mint. He diversified into the wine business around the time of the beginning of the Civil War. However, the 1862 grape crop failed in California, closing this chapter in Evans' life.
