Need help from the expert out there...... Dad gave me a few bills. Old and older. Worth anything?? June 2, 1862 2 $ confererate states of America 1861 10$ Confederate States of America Sept 2, 1861 10$ Bank of Virginia Trans-Alleghany blank date 10$ Virginia Oct 1, 1862 I appreciate any help or contacts.
The two in the middle look like old obsolete bank notes which wouldn't be Confederate issue notes. Just notes issued by a couple of the many thousands of banks that issued their own currency from the early to mid 1800s in this country. The obsoletes can be very unique and their issuing banks legit/illegit and usually short lived. The confederate ones you've listed don't match any of the common, typical ones that were issued, that you normally see. I don't know what they are. Or if they are authentic. Many places issued replica notes as novelty items before the laws changed. Some can be very convincing as they were made to look old. I've looked at a lot of them and I've never seen these before. In my limited experience collecting notes, I've learned that condition plays a major roll. Even on really old paper that you'd think you could get a break on. To put it bluntly, these are pretty rough. To be completely honest with you, I wouldn't get my hopes up. But, you should post these in the paper money section and see what those guys have to say. Thanks for stopping by. Always neat to see different stuff.
