<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug444, post: 2000613, member: 38849&quot;]Find articles by Grover Criswell.&nbsp; Most of the Confederate States (and cities, and railroads) issued paper scrip during the Civil War period.&nbsp; There were few controls on how much was printed, so the farther you got from the source, the more the bills were discounted.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your bill, in that condition, would be worth $3 to $5, in my opinion.&nbsp; Some Criswell catalogs may contain a listing for this item of scrip.&nbsp; One other factor, until the 4th issue of June, 1862, there was practically no paper money produced with denominations less than $5, which caused a drastic need for small change, since &quot;Union&quot; coins were hoarded, and which led to many issues of 10c, 15c, 25c, 50c, and $1 notes from municipal and private sources.</p><p><br /></p><p>edit///</p><p><br /></p><p>After seeing the examples on eBay, I may have been a little low on price, at $3 to $5, but your note&#039;s in bad shape.&nbsp; Hard to say, maybe $10 is a better estimate.&nbsp; They are not rare in poor condition, but apparently quite scarce as uncirculateds.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
