Message:: [QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 24650483, member: 101855"]I have building a type set of Confederate paper money for a few years. I am getting close to "the big six" when the prices really get high, and probably out of my reach although I would like to spring for one Montgomery note eventually. Here is a T-11 I just purchased. Dealer and author Pierre Fricke and I had a discussion about this variety. These notes were printed on stiff bond paper which didn't hold up well in circulation. Therefore most of the notes that are available have been "worked on" on "processed" to one degree or another. Pierre had a couple pieces that he though had not been processed and was urging me buy one of them. One graded VG-10, which is a bit low for me. It had an obvious tear. I am more of an eye appeal collector so I ended up with this one which is marked "Restoration" on the back. It suits me, and since I am not looking to sell in the short run, I am okay with it.
