i'm working .... THANKS!! Its the best quality in color i believe I have. on getting a full set, 50 cent note to 500 dollars. I have to decide on the color and year and then quality. I can't believe how expensive confed notes are even though there is NO value to them at all.....
I haven't been collecting long but I am really surprised by how many confederate bills I have seen. I wonder about the frequency of forgery with these, does anyone know of links to help determine if they are real?
i'll post some FAKE ones and you can see a diff I believe the difference is the paper quality.... the fake ones I have listed feel cheap....
Very nice notes. The fifty cents (pic #1) for some reason looked familiar, although i`ve never seen this note before. After a few seconds i realized its the font of "Confederate States" and "Treasury Notes". I worked with it for a few hours yesterday, it is called Cloister Black.
Sorry I do not know my history better. Another project of interest to look up. Do the grading services offer grades such as 66PPQ or Very Fine, to these forms of paper? Your's are quite nice. Any idea on original populations? Were they mostly regional? I recently read more about banks issuing their own forms of paper going back more than 100 years, not sure if these fit that example. Were runs on banks ever heavily associated with Confederate notes(or was it assumed a lost investment depending upon the outcome of the upcoming WAR? Or were these more like modern loan notes? I recall that the Continential had bank run troubles as a fiat currency. With all the burning of cities in the South, I was curious to what the survival population might be or how many different types are assumed to have been issued during that period. Thanks for Friend invite to the poster of this thread. This is an area I know nothing about. I do love items from the Civil War period so these barely pre-civil war notes caught my attention.
