Incredible Quality 90 Cents Encasement Kirkpatrick & Gault. 90 Cents. HB-167, EP-187, S-120. Extremely Fine. The 90 Cents denomination is always coveted by collectors as there is no easily collectible issue. This Kirkpatrick is no exception with Reed listing the rarity at R-8, "Five - seven known." In both semi-recent sales where this piece was presented, it was cataloged as likely the finest known, a statement we fully agree with. We would in fact go one further and state this 90 Cent piece to be among the finest of the denomination, regardless of issuer. The stamp is as nice as we have seen for the likely Washington type and centered exceptionally well. The mica wonderfully clear in direct light and just a small crack at the lower right and some trivial separations are stated for accuracy. A well pedigreed piece that once resided in the Ford holdings and later traveled through the Kelly Collection where it brought $9,200 in 2012. A lot that will certainly attract attention from bidders.
