A excessively rare merchant and one of the keys for any collector in completing an issuer set. Hodder-Bowers states “Sands’ encasements are the second rarest in the series after Miles’, eclipsing Claflin’s.” This highly attractive Five Cent is one which we have not seen and displays one of the most nicely centered stamps we have seen. Rich color and detail of the Jefferson postage is also mentioned with only a small flaw at the right cheek. The case is attractive at back with still visible silvering within some lettering. Just a minor dent at the right tab is mentioned for accuracy. The mica is the finest we have seen for the catalog numer with perfect clarity straight on and just some minor seperations under angled light.
