<b>Obsolete Currency</b><hr><b>Red '$100' The Freehold Banking Company Proof</b>

<b>Freehold, NJ, The Freehold Banking Company, $100, Choice India Paper Proof.</b>
Haxby MA-1085-G14. PRF R-5. Listed as SENC in Haxby (since it was unknown to the authors in 1988). Excellent '100' bold red protector across the central lower half. A great looking Proof with a central vignette of a steam locomotive. The back has a tiny stamp hinge reinforcement of a small tear at one of the hole cancellations and another at the upper left corner. Light ABN stamp on the back. A very nice, high denomination Proof note rarity. This note is from one of the most fiercely collected states for obsolete currency where the right notes from the right counties often sell for over $1,000! This is from one of those counties, but luckily for collectors, there are still a few to go around. A premium quality, high denomination note and Gem in overall appearance but for two insignificant traces of old reinforcement on the back. This is the only $100 value weÕve seen from this bank.
