(NJ-155 A15 SENC; Wait 640). Early style altered bill from the Monmouth Bank $50, imprint of A.B.& C. Durand, Wright & Co. Upper left with seated Agriculture and Moneta, two cherubs hovering. Title across with die work above. John Woodhull (attribution, Douglas Ball), an early trustee of Princeton left and right end Elias Boudinot portrait between two dies. An enigmatic and extremely rare type, even as an altered note. The cataloger was 33 years old when our consignor bought this rarity and we have not seen or written one since. Very deftly re-title, the city stayed the same. The late 1854 date is a tell. The earliest issued notes mentioned for bank are 1855, observed are 1856. A solid note and of course much rarer than Waits Rarity-6 designation. Ex Smythe Sale #101, December, 1991, lot 4269. Another very important specialized note from this distinguished collection.，From the Norman B. Buckman Collection of Monmouth County Currency.
