West India Bank
NL 5 Dollars 2.3.1840
Grade: VF 30*

Here is a surprise from this area as no such issue was suspected before this example surfaced. Uniface remainder; for the Tobago office of this bank. Black and white; arms and sailing ship. Named trustees are Josiah Heath, Charles Saintjohn, and Samuel Enniss. ICG terms this "VF 30* 5cm tear at bottom right; top corner missing; other tears". Of obvious appeal to Commonwealth collectors or for anyone who likes rare pieces. The first time I have ever seen this type; I do not expect to offer anything like this again.
