Description

Encased Postage Stamps
North American Life One Cent with Curved "INSURANCE"
EP-24a, HB-189, S-140, Reed-NA01CU. One Cent. NORTH AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, Curved "INSURANCE", Extremely Fine.
Rated as Rarity-6 (16 to 20 known) according to Fred Reed. A premium quality very clean pleasing example of this scarce Curved "INSURANCE" type. The stamp is near perfectly centered with a fresh rich blue Benjamin Franklin 1 1861 Civil War issue U.S. Stamp, seen under unbroken, near perfect mica. The case has a rich natural appearance, being a glossy tan color having no defects or detractions. It has excellent eye appeal for being lightly circulated in commerce as small change as intended by the U.S. government. This Fr. EP-24a catalog number is extremely scarce and somewhat more difficult to locate than Reed's rarity might suggest. We have sold several in past decades with records of selling between $1,600 to $2,000 and likely worth more in today's collector market.
