Hi everyone, I bought this from an antique store in middle Tennessee and am not sure if it’s real or what it’s worth. Any help would be much appreciated. -Nathan
It's definitely the real thing. As for value, it's worth what you paid for it. The condition holds back any real value. It's known as fractional currency.
I found some past auction history here...https://currency.ha.com/c/search-re...Nty=1&Ntt=North+Carolina+25+cents&limitTo=all
I've found one for $230: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1861-25-Ce...484766?hash=item33f444d8de:g:nD4AAOSwBzpbmEy1 and one for $9 https://www.ebay.com/itm/1861-The-S...857391?hash=item1a7a59d56f:g:LHYAAOSwqOFb6KGo
