Newark, NJ - $2 Original Fr. 387 The First NB
<B>Newark, NJ</B></I> - $2 Original Fr. 387 <B>The First NB</B></I> Ch. # 52<BR> While the New Jersey notes we offer this evening amount to a fine collection, the Newark notes offered below are truly extraordinary, and constitute the true heart of this collection. Our consignor long resided in Newark, and devoted many years to searching for the finest and most significant items from his home town, many of which were obtained privately and are offered here for the first time to the numismatic community. The range of types represented here and the consistent high grades of the notes offered below would literally be impossible to reproduce today at any cost, and it is with great pride we start with this lovely Lazy Deuce, which is both new to the census and the highest grade Lazy Two known from Newark. Combining great color, signatures and eye appeal, it is flawless for the grade and as nice or nicer than any of the eight reported examples from this low charter bank, which issued First Charter specimens only before closing in 1880. <B>Very Fine-Extremely Fine,</B></I> a great New Jersey item worth whatever it realizes this evening.<BR><I>From The John Ameen Collection</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
