Description
Rare Arkansas Postal Note
Little Rock, AR- Postal Note 5¢ Sept. 10, 1889This example has been off the market since we sold it in our May, 1997 auction, where we noted "First Postal Note of any type we've had from this obviously very scarce state for such material. Dated Sept. 10, 1889 and grading Fine, with a bit of ink erosion." In that era, even before the dawn of serious collecting of such material, its scarcity was recognized when it realized $286 against a pre-sale estimate of $100-200. In today's far more sophisticated market for Postal Note rarities, expect that figure to likely be tripled or quadrupled when the hammer falls tonight.
