One of Just Two Known J. Gault Ribbed Frame 30 Cents J. Gault. 30 Cents, Ribbed Frame. HB-140, EP-179, S-100a. Extremely Fine. Just a pair of known pieces can be attributed to this ribbed frame 30 Cents J. Gault variety with the current offering being the Mayer, Kelly example. The other known piece was in the Ford holdings. Both encasements are roughly equals with this item showing pronounced ribbing at the frame and a nice even tone of the case. A more bold than often encountered 30 Cent stamp furthers the appeal and the mica is clear save for a few small imperfections at the borders and a crack running from the lower left across Franklin's shoulders. The last realization was in the Kelly sale where the encasement brought $4,600 in 2012. Overall one of the rarest encasements in this prized collection and an essential piece in any high-end collection.
