L.C. Hopkins & Co. 3 Cents. HB-144, EP-48, S-103. Extremely Fine. A desirable Hopkins issuer and this Three Cent offering is one of roughly eight known pieces. All encasements from this issuer are rare and with the aforementioned eight or so known, this is, surprisingly, the most available. The case shows in a brass hue which would indicate a light cleaning in our view while the stamp is quite clear and nicely centered. The mica shows nicely with just a small crack at lower left and crazing at the lower right. An important offering.
Ex. William H. Kelly Collection, Lot 15597. 2012.
