Oh hell I have too much to post altogether... here's my favorite Confederate frame, denominations in extremis... the 50 cent notes, the late series 1 and 2... and the $500 whopper one...

 

I'm not a Confederate currency collector per se but here's a few from my "small change" collection.

No problem at all. Those are lovely bonds that don't exist in my collection. And besides, I was planning on posting my bonds next

These are all awesome, right now I just have a couple 1863 $5 notes. @Quaint.Geek what do those Missouri notes typically go for? I see them from time to time at flea markets but they always seem way overpriced (lower-mid condition low denom. notes easily over $150) compared to scrip from other states and the C.S. government. Maybe just because demand is higher for them here in Missouri?

 

It depends on the denomination. They typically run for about $150 to $200 in the higher conditions, so it shouldn't be that expensive. Check out Heritage Auctions' sold prices to give you some idea on what the going rates are for those notes. Note that this one is a very rare note that has an overprinted date of 1863 that pays "Five Years after Date". Even in this condition, it fetches for over $300+...

Originally issued as a set of "notes" that consisted of six Chemicograph backs with designs that were intended for the 1864 issues of the $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, and $500 denominations. Back plates with these designs were ordered by the Confederate Treasury from S. Straker & Sons of London. The plates were made and shipped from London in early January 1864, only to disappear. Several more shipments were made, but none of these got through the Union blockade. Examples of the plates were found 75 years later and were donated to the Smithsonian Institution.
