Message:: [QUOTE="Sam_I_am.MiaFLUSA, post: 2628292, member: 84102"]I was fortunate to acquire a set of the People's Bank of Paterson $6, $7, $8 & $9 remainders upon my father's passing many years ago.  He had owned the set since at least the 1950s or very early 1960s.  They were the visual part of an opening joke he would use in speeches he’d give at various civic clubs and gatherings when invited.  I've been told over the years that all of these notes are remainders from the 1830s and that no issued specimens exist!  However, as is obvious, my father was a "rag-picker" from way, way back!  And along with the unissued remainder set there was an apparently issued $7 note dated May 10, 1833.  I've not been able to get a straight answer from the few dealers with whom I've spoken, other than their expressed interest in placing it in auction.  While going to auction seems logical and might be the eventual best option, I would still like to know more than I presently do.  Do you know who the expert(s) is/are on New Jersey obsolete notes with whom I should consult before I proceed further?  Your direction will be sincerely appreciated.
