NEW JERSEY. J.P. Phipps [&] John Issard Sutlers, Sutler's Department [of the] 12th New Jersey Reg.[ulars]. 50 Cts. Printed in black on orange cardboard. 49mm by 35mm. Within jagged edge inside framed border are the texts in three lines. 'Sutler's Department', denomination '50 CTS' in center over issuer. Lower left, engraved names of the sutlers. A superb sutler chit on New Jersey. Again, the first we have seen and perhaps from Doug Ball's collection? The condition is magnificent for such a rarity. Razor sharp corners and a deep impression into the cardboard. Too good to be true, but it is. Gem Uncirculated. Unimprovable.
Ex Douglas B. Ball, January 4, 1984.
