1865 Union Bank of Newfoundland £1 - CH 750-12-02, S/N:1828/B. A very rare early Newfoundland note, new to the register, with previously unrecorded manuscript date 2 Oct. 1865. This is one of only four known examples of the 1865 one pound, of which three are privately owned. There is a dark stain on the bottom margin at the right, a tiny scuff mark on the frame of the seal vignette, and a few minor edge tears. Optimistically net graded F12 by PMG, but difficult to find any better.
