Rare and Desirable Hawaii $1 Uncut Sheet

Fr. 2300 $1 1935A Hawaii Silver Certificates. Uncut Sheet of Twelve. PCGS Choice New 63.
All Fr. 2300 uncut sheets are from the F-C block with serial numbers from 41964001 through 41967996, but all serials are not represented within that range. Hawaii and North Africa $1 Silver uncut sheets use a numbering scheme unlike any other in our nation's paper money history. Each column of six is consecutive, but all twelve notes on a sheet are not consecutive. The sheet in this lot has a left column with serial numbers 41964103-08 and the right column has serials 41966101-06. The Hawaii notes were first issued in June 1942 in the Territory of Hawaii along with the islands of Midway, Johnston, and Palmyra. These emergency notes were a protective financial measure against a possible invasion by the Japanese. After July 15, 1942, no other United States paper money could be held or used on these islands without a special license that was obtainable through the office of the governor of the Territory of Hawaii. The governor at this time was Joseph B. Poindexter from March 1934 to August 1942. The first proclamations concerning series of Hawaii notes were made in Poindexter's name and in the name of the military governor of Hawaii, Lieutenant General Delos C. Emmons. All restrictions for possessing non-Hawaii notes were removed on October 21, 1944. This example has been nicely preserved and is in a comment free third party holder.
