The 9-Cent Encased Postage Strips series of Encased Postage in the U.S. Currency contains 0 distinct entries.

Postage stamps encased in a brassy-metal housing were invented by A.M. Gault in 1861 to alleviate a severe shortage of coinage. They were issued only in 1861 by a handful of private businesses.

This is a collectible worthy of greater attention as values have not been well defined for items of superior condition.
