<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 26547490, member: 74863&quot;]About 12 or so years ago I started collecting CSA Notes, notes from the Confederacy during the Civil War. Only 72 notes were produced during the war years. I have about 1/3 of them, mostly the most common ones. That made me branch out and start collecting some of the more interesting things on CSA Notes. </p><p>Things like cut cancelled notes, interest stamps on the back of the notes, etc. I even have a couple of counterfeit notes. I now have radar notes, ladder notes and special notes of various types. </p><p>One of my frugal buys is this note. It’s</p><p>a note from 1862, a fairly common one. It’s graded by PCGS Currency as a vF-35 note. It would have graded higher but there is a small edge split on it. It has slaves hoeing cotton, a common theme from the south during this time period.</p><p>It h as strong writing that not faded and there are 3 Interest stamps on the reverse. All three interest stamps are fr on Augusta. This indicates that this note never ventured away from this area, which is unusual. It is a $100.00 Note so less of them were issued than with the lower values notes. </p><p>I paid $2000 for this note around 10 to 11 years ago. Why you may ask? Because of all that I’ve mentioned but mainly due to the serial number. Four years ago I was offered $7000 and it’s now worth of $10,000. This note is the lowest know serial number on CSA Notes, any of them, to this day. The serial number is written in red ink and it’s still strong in color. It is recorded by the grader as SN #2. The next know lowest number is just below 10, like 7 or 8, I forget which. I just know what I paid and that every year it keeps rising in price. Needless to say, I’m thrilled! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1691827[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1691828[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1691829[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
