Newark, New Jersey. Uncut Proof Sheet of $5-$2-$2-$2 Notes. 1800Õs (ca.1850-60Õs reprint from the original plates). Haxby NJ-370 G76-G28 (3). Wait 1497-1479 (3). Choice to Gem Uncirculated. Plates B-A-B-C. Printed on India paper, mounted on original card and affixed to brown paper scrapbook page, from the original copper plate, for archival purposes. No imprint but similar to style of P. Maverick. Early series with simple text obligations in various fonts. The sole $5 with smaller New Jersey Arms at top center and "FIVE" in the left shaded panel. The $2 notes differ in style from other notes in the series. Upper right, larger New Jersey Arms. Left end, "TWO DOLLs." within oval of shaded panel. Penned inscription at page top: 'Plate No. 5/Copper/Issued 1805./Emission of Whitehead Cashr. + (the 5.) Beach Cashr.' and page numbered '9' upper right corner. The layout of the sheet is quite unusual and this added an additional $5 plate position to the series. The $2 notes are a different style, though they must be from Maverick. Perhaps they were never issued despite the notation. There is an as made plate scuff at the right end of the $5 note, otherwise the sheet is fresh and vibrant. Very possibly unique. (ex-Stacks Americana Auction, 2009, Lot 2484).
