Auction Number 45 Closed (#11011)

211 - IA150A-2a R9 Raw AU+ Reynolds & Co. New York Store, Cedar Rapids Iowa. Rare town and state particularly above EF. Very rare variety, the muling of the obverse (or reverse depending on ones perspective) with Union 1863 reverse die 1105. Speaking of obverse and reverse, the new third edition of the Civil War Store Card book switched what they called the obverse and reverse compared to the second edition and consequently the listings for -2a and -3a have been compromised. This is what is called -2a in the second edition and will likely be called that again in a future fourth edition. This is just the second example we have recorded, the Tanenbaum example a Raw MS63 with traces of red sold for $3,875 in our June 2013 sale in spirited bidding on a (2,000-3,000) estimate. (1500-2000)
