Cape Island, New Jersey. Bank of Cape May County. ND (18xx).Uncut Sheet of $1-$2-$3-$5. Choice Uncirculated.(NJ-70 Unlisted) Danforth, Bald & Co. New York & Philad. $1-$2-$3-$5 format. India paper mounted on card. $1 seen with Capitol building at center. $2 seen with Indian seated with lake and mountain in background. $3 shows vignette of horses running in field. $5 shows man seated in large "V" An excessively rare sheet in any right. The margins are even and plentiful and the paper crisp and bright. This sheet is free of the major faults that plagued many of the ABN sheets. This sheet first sold in the Christies 1990 ABN sale as part of lot 923. Three sheets were included in the lot, with two in this denomination format. It was last sold in Part 2 of Shingoethe, March 2005 where our consignor acquired it. The other two sheets have never again been offered for sale. One of the most desirable Jersey locations and with enough collectors to warrant considerable bidding on this prize we will not be surprised if it exceeds our high estimate.<p>From the Q. David Bowers Collection.
