Scarce Three Cents J. GAULT with Plain Frame Rarity-7
EP-46, HB-129, S-95, Reed-JG03. Three Cents. J. GAULT. Plain Frame. Extremely Fine.
c. 1862 Civil War. Rated as a Rarity-7 (11 to 15 known) according to Fred Reed. There was only one example was offered in the Stack's John J. Ford Collection Sale of June 2004. This current specimen has an extremely well centered, very clean red George Washington stamp which has nice eye appeal. The mica is virtually perfect, being crystal clear with smooth surfaces showing only a touch of faint friction with an internal natural lamination layer at Washington's hair. The chestnut toned case has some signs of circulation in commerce, as intended for its use as emergency small change during the Civil War.
