<p>[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 7638255, member: 74863"][USER=12789]@scottishmoney[/USER] Ok, here you go. I received the PM but wanted to point out your bill in this thread for all to see and understand. </p><p><br /></p><p>First, nothing significant about R King except his signature. If you look at the G in his last name it goes off of the bill. But look at the top of the bill, above the N in CONFEDERATE. There are a few lines that are part of the design but upon closer inspection you can see line coming from the top of the bill. That line crosses the black line that frames the bill on all 4 sides. It’s also a different ink and a wee bit thicker. That is the G from King from the bill above it. His signature goes from the top note to the note under it as they were printed on uncut sheets much like today’s paper money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next, your CSA Note is a $100.00 note. It is listed as a T-65 (Grover Criswell Number) and a Cr490 (The Criswell Variety Number). The Fricke Variety Number is PF1. That’s how to identify the notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the center is Lucy Pickens, (as you stated), the wife of the governor of South Carolina during the Civil War, two soldiers on left side, and Confederate cabinet member George W. Randolph on the bottom right. A total of 929,200 total issued.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was printed by Keatinge and Ball in Columbia, SC. It is dated February 17th 1864. Serial #71590 is stamped twice in black. Looks to be in FINE+ condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>A nice looking note with good eye appeal. Dark details. Great color.
