When it comes to major collections of Encased Postages Stamps, these Five Cent Hopkins are near the top of the difficulty scale, Reed states the rarity to be R-8+, five to seven known. The stamp is a stunning chocolate brown and well centered while the mica remains clear with just minor seperations mostly at the edges. Significant silver remains near the lettering. The Michigan Collection featured the Ex. Mayer piece which brought $4,560 in our March 2018 sale. This piece is nearly as nice and should see a simliar realization.
