One of Just Two Known HB-199 "Straight Insurance" Twelve Cents North American Life Insurance Co. 12 Cents, Straight INSURANCE. HB-199, EP-155, S-144. About Uncirculated. This lot starts an incredible pairing of this rare 12 Cents North American Life Insurance denomination with this "Straight Insurance," variety being listed in Reed as R-9, two - four known. Looking through records all that can be seen is just this Ex. Mayer piece and the Ford example. Comparing the two is night and day with the Ford piece showing with several distractions. This About Uncirculated encasement retains all the positive attributes collectors seek in this numismatic genre. An appealing stamp, clear mica, and ample amounts of original silvering. Just a touch of fade in regards to the stamp and some trivial angled light mica observations. A serious rarity for the serious collector and a perfect mate to the following lot.
Ex. Frederick R. Mayer Collection, Lot 12926. 2007.
