High Grade B.F. Miles Five Cents Encasement B.F. Miles. 5 Cents. HB-183, EP-86, S-135. Choice Extremely Fine. B.F. Miles encasements are often regarded as the most desirable issuer within this numismatic segment. They are always met with heightened interest from collectors when offered as they are most often a missing piece in even comprehensive collections. This beauty is one that will certainly turn heads as it retains a bold stamp, clear mica and traces of original silvering of the case. Only a few trivial laminations are seen under scrutiny and the denomination and U.S. POSTAGE wording of the stamp is readily viewed. The last piece of comparable quality to sell for this issuer and denomination was Mayer example which was sold in 2007 where it brought $27,600. Some lesser quality pieces have traded hands publicly since where even Very Fine examples reach into the five figure realm. A true treasure and a piece that will be a focal point in any collection it enters.
