Stamp with beautiful intense color (nearly Violet shade), positioned to the right but value tablet visible, mica intact with only tiny imperfections, the case is in excellent condition (possibly lacquered at one point)

VERY FINE. A RARE HIGH-VALUE ENCASEMENT, WITH FEWER THAN TEN REPORTED EXAMPLES.

The Ford sale catalogue (Stack's 6/23/2004, lot 486) notes "although a higher denomination than the 12 Cents, the 24 Cents issue is less difficult to find and we estimate there are about 10 to a dozen surviving."
