SC-139 $5-$6-$8-$1 (2) Complete Sheet December 23, 1776
Grade: AU/CU

Uncut double-pane sheet. Wakefield single signature remainders. Printed on heavy, coarse paper by Peter Timothy. There are so many adjectives and phrases used to describe rarity in our hobby but "Rare as hen's teeth" certainly seems like an appropriate application to describe this complete sheet. The two that we have seen in recent decades have provenances such as Boyd and Newman. In the past this sheet has received a couple of different grades due to the fact that there is some light handling as well as a vertical fold that is entirely between the two panes of notes. Different people grade something like that differently but we are just going to call it AU/CU. The individual notes could be cut up and sold for several hundred dollars each. The whole is worth more than the sum of its parts. This originally sold in Ford Part VI for the princely sum of $5,175. It would not be a stretch in today's market.
