Not listed in Nyholm or Rust. There are four different sheets of Kirtland Banknotes known and/or issued. Research by D. Nyholm has compared all known plate letters and these have been correlated to any possible notes. These sheets are configured as follows, 1a-1b-2a-3a; 5a-5b-5c-10a; 10b-20a; and this specimen of 50a-100a. No other plate letters exist which do not match that of these four sheets which have all be observed. Both this sheet and the Nyholm plated 10-20 sheet are similar to the paper and engraving size of the $5 proof offered in this auction. They are on bright paper and the sizes of all notes are exactly matched. As earlier noted they are now believed to be actual proofs and not simply remainders. Uncut sheets of obsolete currency are occasionally encountered but no bank has been researched to the extent of the Kirtland bank of which all possible four uncut sheets are known. There is documented evidence of a single 50-100 and a single 10-20 sheet known however rumors are that at least one additional 50-100 may exist. Until anything additional emerges this may be forever your only chance to acquire this sheet. This sheet is bright and completely uncirculated with no problems whatsoever. HKA#63374
