CH 770-22-06-08a. ABNCo., Toronto issue, red “KINGSTON.” overprinted vertically at both ends. Sailor at capstan at left, allegorical group around three crests at centre, Albert, Prince Consort, at right. The manuscript signature is C. S. Murray. Condition of the note is a very attractive Fine, with slight roughness in the top edge and a minor nick at the bottom centre. The apparent missing corners and bit at the top are in fact present, or largely so, and need only to be smoothed out carefully. This note is a new addition to the register, and becomes the third 1861 $5 to bear the KINGSTON overprint. The other two are in the National Currency Collection: this note is therefore the ONLY example known to be available to collectors. Catalogue value is $3,000 but, based on recent auction realizations, we confidently expect this note to sell substantially higher. S/N:48766.
