Found this confederate money glued to the bottom of a dresser draw anyone with info

Did you check the other drawers?
Or some hidden compartment usually at the base.

I would frame it in old barn wood and enjoy it.

 

Lol nice found that too

 

People used these notes for drawer and shelf linings...also TP. I'd hang it up on my office wall!

 

The South did rise again, but they didn't bring the old money along.

 

depends on the provenance. If the dresser was owned by a union soldier it could be
a war trophy. If owned by a confederate veteran if could be souvenirs of his lost fortune. If all are modern fakes they probably date to either 1965 civil war centennial or the 1976 bicentennial and were created during the decoupage
period as a gift. good luck. You asked coin and paper money gurus and experts
to evaluate damaged paper money. Nearly all will say they are worthless based on condition and being glued to the board. The only people who will see ANY value here are militaria collectors and antique dealers. good luck.

 

The $10, $20 and the $1000 are also fakes. Looks bad for all of them.

 

I'm not an expert but I have sold hundreds of these and at first glance they look genuine to me. I didn't check the extensive lists of known replicas nor are the pictures clear enough to examine the paper or signatures.

Usually, the replicas are not very deceptive.

 

The $10, $20 and $50 are the only serial numbers I can see and they are all known fakes. The 1000 is just a poor fake. Add to that the $5 is a known fake as well.

 

Then there's little doubt. I didn't bother to look them up.

 

Cutler is on the case and on the money. With so money obvious replicas, the chance real currency was mixed in is almost zero. It's probably all from a replica pack of the kind sold at Knott's Berry Farm gift shops, that kind of thing, on antiqued paper. I remember as a kid being fascinated by such things. Someone laquered them to a board just for fun and decoration. Now, decades later, provenance is unknown and questions are asked. But alas... just some Fakey McFakerton...

 

Yup! The right hand signature on the $10 1864 "Bell" can oft be found on ebay's reproductions.

 

I could see someone doing this to suck in bidders at an auction. I was at an auction years ago and folks were finding notes in the books that were up for auction.
