<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 2197686, member: 22729&quot;]Here are three new obsoletes I bought from Tom Denly at the Baltimore coin show last week.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first is a nice Franklin Bank (Jersey City) $20 (W-889) at a cool R-6. Franklin was incorporated in 1825 and stumbled along only until October, 1827 when it closed. The signers are W.A. Thompson and Louis M. Wiss, S/N 197. I also have a $1 note issued by this bank.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second is a 50 Cent scrip from the private Monroe Forge near May&#039;s Landing, NJ. I believe Monroe Forge was a charcoal furnace, if I remember my research correctly. These pieces aren&#039;t serialized, but are all signed by Lewis Walker. It&#039;s listed as an R-4, but I suspect it may be a bit scarcer. The condition isn&#039;t the best, but I haven&#039;t seen this denomination before so decided to buy it. Listed by Wait as W-1199. I also have a 25 Cent example in my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>The last is a common (R-2) $3 note of the Hoboken Banking &amp; Grazing Co. (you have to love that name). It was incorporated in 1823 and failed sometime in the early 1830s. The serial number appears to be 541, but it&#039;s hard to read. The signer is M.(?) Murray. Listed in Wait as W-780. I also have a $2 note from this bank.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for looking.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[ATTACH=full]427850[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]427851[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]427853[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
