Rare Bates Fancy Goods Five Cents Joseph L. Bates Fancy Goods. 5 Cents. HB-54, EP-65, S-28a. About Uncirculated. A truly rare item that even as the more available variety, is still only known by two to four pieces on this plain frame spaced Fancy Goods type. Scarce enough that this example was the piece featured in both the John J. Ford Jr. holdings as well as the Kelly Collection. The case is attractive in most regards with a nice golden brown color and just a touch of toning to report at the tabs. The stamp is unfortunately torn and the mica reveals a few imperfections; the rarity however cannot be denied.
