Description

Postage Stamp Envelope J. Leach 86 Nassau St, NY, Stationery Cheap., 75 (Cents) PE-409 Extremely Fine-About New.
The Plate Illustration Example used for both the Friedberg Paper Money and Fred Reed's Encased Stamp books. This superior example is printed in red on fresh white paper: "POSTAGE STAMPS US, J. Leach, 86 Nassau St, NY, Stationery Cheap." This envelope is essentially crisp New but had been mounted at one time with trivial traces on the back corners and when dismounted the outer edges of the flap thinned a touch. The number "75" appears printed in red within a white diamond at center. This high denomination Leach envelope appears absolutely perfect from the front, but there are mounting traces in all four corners of the back and the top two have caused the flap to rip slightly. An extremely nice example of this rare denomination, used for illustration for its extremely nice high quality being an important example of a red diamond "Leach." See: Civil War Stamp Envelopes, the Issuers and Their Times by Fred Reed.
