One of Three Known Norris Five Cents John W. Norris. 5 Cents. HB-186. EP-87, S-138. Extremely Fine. Beyond the One Cent denomination, all other John W. Norris encasements are simply rare. This Five Cent is listed as R-9 in Reed and we could only locate three different pieces for the denomination. This piece is formerly of the Kelly collection where it brought $3,450 in 2012. The other two we are aware of are the Ford and Mayer pieces. The case highlights the appeal on this item with the mica and stamp showing some separations yet clarity and minor soiling respectively.
Ex. William H. Kelly Collection, Lot 15627. 2012.
