Key 10 Cents Sands' Ale Sands' Ale. 10 Cents. HB-208, EP-128, S-152. Extremely Fine. Not often will a collection contain two denominations of this rare issuer and when combined, excitement is always high among collectors. This 10 Cents encasement is formerly a Kelly Collection example where it saw spirited bidding and ultimately realized $7,475 in 2012. Reed lists an R-9 rarity rating indicating two to three known. We could locate only four examples sold in the last two decades with the Ford sale containing two, one likely the finest known with strong silvering and the other extremely problematic, the other two are the Mayer and the present piece. A fifth is mentioned in the cataloging of this Kelly example from the 2012 sale and indicates another low grade problematic piece. Strong appeal remains with this offering as a bold, nicely centered stamp lies beneath clear mica with just some crazing and very minor cracks at the lower left.
Ex. William H. Kelly Collection, Lot 15638. 2012.
