Extremely Rare John Shillito & Company 12 Cents John Shillito & Co. 12 Cents. HB-220, EP-158, S-164. Extremely Fine. One of the most rare 12 Cents encasements and a piece that is listed in Reed as R-9, with the comment "two known." This is the Ford piece and then later belonging to the Mayer collection until its sale in 2012 where it brought $6,900. The price is every bit understandable as the quality and rarity combine here to make quite the item. A very bold 12 Cent Washington stamp remains under clear mica with just the typical subtle disturbances at the edges. The case is nicely toned with a nice spot of silvering remaining at center. One of the more important encasements in this collection.
