1879, 3¢ Harris Postal Revenue Bond coupon essay, complete booklet (Scott 184-E8c, d), booklet containing 364 small, blue green 3¢ "U.S. Postage" coupons in five panes of 61 and one pane of 59; there are 31 coupons for January, dated from the 1st through the 31st; the succeeding months are only dated from the 1st through the 5th. The booklet is in remarkable condition, all stamps with full o.g. - though a bit toned - and all interleaving is intact; the front cover is exceptionally well preserved, the back somewhat heavily foxed; overall size is about 10¾" x 4-5/8"; also included is the original plain envelope in which the booklet was enclosed, but it is faulty with the front and back separated. A great rarity. Scott value, just as individual coupons, is $24,900! . Brazer 184E-Fb, c. Estimate $5,000 - 7,500
QUITE POSSIBLY, THE ONLY SURVIVING INTACT BOOKLET!
