1862 City of Charleston 10¢ note

My son was given an old Charleston note by my brother for Christmas. I haven't been able to find much out about it online so I thought I'd check here. Thoughts on scarcity and value would be appreciated.
Happy Holidays!

Thanks!

 

Remember, condition is everything, in this instance

 

I wish I had your answer. Being a Carolinian I love these sorts of bills. Lots of printed legal tender from those war years. I have a buddy who is quite educated and owns a massive collection of confederate bills. He is retired and I don't see him often but he has promised to join me for lunch this week. If he shows up I'll show him this photo and see what light, if any he can shed on it.

 

Is this considered Confedeate fractional currency?

 

No as this is a City of Charleston note. It states on the note payable for taxes and dues to the City of Charleston. Not associated with a bank. I can't make it all out but the signature is above the words For Mayor and ???

To be considered Confederate Fractional Currency it would need to be associated with a bank.

 

For Mayor and Alderman

 

Thank you. This is in your neck of the woods so do you know who Alderman was?

 

I am an aged old boy. But not quite up there with Doug yet.... Nawww, just was able to read the faded print on my big screen is all.

 

An Alderman is an elected council member, next in status to the Mayor.

 

You're younger than me!
