Very Rare Hopkins Ten Cents L.C. Hopkins & Co. 10 Cents. HB-146, EP-117a, S-105. Extremely Fine. A rare higher denomination Hopkins encasement and this piece is one of just five we are aware of. The Ford collection was illustrated by a single piece, the Mayer collection was sold with a pairing, and then only the Tannenbaum and the present example are known by us. This piece we would place only behind the Tannenbaum example in terms of quality. Appealing silvering remains behind the lettering and a well centered and bright stamp are both welcomed as well. The mica shows only some peripheral distractions but do not impede the direct appeal. A small bend on the left tab is mentioned for complete accuracy. A piece, along with the other two on the issuer in this collection which will command serious attention from bidders.
