Choice Very Fine. Frame is inscribed FANCY GOODS as two words. This is one of only two Bates denominations that are considered realistically collectible, but are still supremely hard to locate in any grade. The mica shows a couple of small crazing spots, the medium yellow-gold frame is lightly circulated with a single toned-over scratch. |

HB.190, EP.53, S.141a. Choice Extremely Fine. The stamp is not as faded as these usually come but is fairly heavily wrinkled. The mica is clear, with just light laminations visible under an angled light. The case is sound, with rich silvering remaining on the back. A lovely example. |

About Uncirculated. The stamp is bright but a little wrinkled and somewhat soiled. The mica is clear save for light laminations visible only in an angled light. The case is sound, with about 80% of the original silvering remaining on the back. The most collectible encasement from this merchant. |
