Mercer at Cincinnati, Jul 26th receiver, message from R.W. Mercer reads "How much will you pay for the loan of this card with an article in regard to the merits of this duplex post card. Reply on this card" and the response from Editor of The Stamp Collector: "We hardly see how we can use this and therefore cannot make an offer"; slight aging, F.-V.F., a rare through-the-mails use of a postal card essay. USPCC No. UY1E-TA; Estimate $750 - 1,000.
The postage on this card essay was of course not recognized as this was not issued by the Post Office, and therefore not a postal card. Mercer aggressively pursued acceptance of his cards with many letters to the Post Office Department. Apparently, the only reaction of the Department was to take exception to Mercer's use of "U.S. Postage in his design. This essay was discussed in a Postal Stationery (Jul.-Aug. 1962) article.

Postal Card, 1902, 1¢ black on buff, the "full-face McKinley". Very Fine. USPCC No. S21. Scott No. UX17; $16,000.
A CHOICE MINT EXAMPLE OF THE 1¢ BLACK FULL-FACE MCKINLEY POSTAL CARD, ONLY 18 ARE RECORDED.
The entire stock of 500 cards was inadvertently sent from Washington to Booth, Dailey & Ivins in New York where they were shortly thereafter pre-printed with their address and garbage dumping information on the back to be filled out by the tug captain. As a result of the printing there remained no mint cards for collectors. This "Unmarked Specimen" long ago became accepted as a full mint card in order to allow collectors to have a complete unused collection. Albert Daggett, the contractor for the printing of the Full Face card, was never able to satisfy the Post Office in Washington due to sub-standard quality of his productions. All submitted samples were rejected and as a result the entire stock of 1,625,000 cards was ordered destroyed by the PMG on April 29, 1902. Scott $16,000 (Image)

A REMARKABLE AND UNIQUE EXHIBIT COLLECTION OF THE E. LOUIS SMITH COUNTERFEITS.
This is a study of E. Louis Smith's postal card coating and printing business from 1895 until 1902, when he was sentenced to prison for two years for counterfeiting $100 of U.S. postal cards with 1894 and 1897 Jefferson designs. Postal Inspector W.E. Cochran discovered that Smith had been counterfeiting cards when he made a surprise visit. He had come to inspect the size of Smith's stock of unusable postal cards and already coated cards and to tell him that coated cards had been invalidated three weeks earlier. The Post Office Department had long redeemed unusable stamped envelopes and was going to being to redeem unusuable postal cards. The inspector noticed that Smith had blank card stock cut to size and a counterfeit plate mounted in his small press. Smith confessed to counterfeiting and was arrest on April 24th 1902.
Single examples of the UX14 counterfeit have hammered for between $375 and $750 in our past sales. The UX12 counterfeits have never been offered at public auction. Est. $3,000-4,000 (Image)

Eventually, continued use of this discriminatory rate on American packet letters caused Americans to retaliate with a double sea postage on letters carried by British contract vessels.
