Newark, New Jersey. Newark Whaling, Sealing Manufacturing Company. 1837. 37 1/2 Cents. Very Good.Plate B. Imprint of C. F. Harrison. Top center, custom vignette Capturing a Sperm Whale after the painting as used exclusively on this series. Flanking, eagle and wharf good. Lower left corner, counter. Above, small ship. Right end, three reverses of Spanish colonial real coins. Haxby-Not listed. Wait 1544. Rarity 5. A great odd denomination note from the series and always popular. In the past, we always believed the 25 Cents notes from the series were the scarcest. However, now we believe the earlier opinions of others that it is this "Three Bits" that is hardest to find of the three. A tape repair is noticed at back but the note is otherwise attractive for the grade.
