FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE 3-CENT ENCASEMENT ISSUED BY JOHN W. NORRIS.

This specimen was described in the Ford sale catalogue (Stack's 6/23/2004, lot 565) as "Choice Extremely Fine" and "Certainly one of the nicest known." We suppose this is true, considering there are fewer than five reported examples.
