John W. Norris. 3 Cents. HB-185. EP-52a, S-137. Extremely Fine. Another rare Norris encasement with this piece being one of only four known by us. The Reed reference agrees with an R-9 rating, two - four known, is cited. There was a pair in the 2004 Ford sale, the Mayer example and this piece which is formerly of the Kelly Collection. A lovely case and stamp are seen with the mica being the only detraction with a layer chipped out in one area and some resulting soiling around the area. Another terrific rarity within this world-class collection.
Ex. William H. Kelly Collection, Lot 15626. 2012.
