Auction 310 | Lot 17091 » Confederate Notes » 1861 Issues

T3 $100 1861. Before the Confederacy moved its capital to Richmond in the late spring of 1861, a small number of $1,000s, $500s, $100s, and $50s were issued from Montgomery. Today, these Montgomery notes are among the scarcest and most desirable pieces of Confederate currency and are in constant demand from collectors. This fully original Montgomery $100 is completely unmolested, with no repairs, problems, or distractions of any kind. It is merely moderately circulated, and has plenty of eye appeal remaining as it has managed to escape any sort of damage over the years. One of just over 150 examples known to have survived from the original issue of 1,606 pieces, this Fine+++ example is likely to see bidding that reaches the top end of our estimate range before the hammer falls.

Auction 310 | Lot 17092 » Confederate Notes » 1861 Issues

T4 $50 1861. This smallest denomination Montgomery note is one of just 1,606 pieces originally issued, and with serial number 936 is a new addition to the census of approximately 155 survivors. This Very Fine example once had at least four cut-out cancellations, but the missing pieces have been expertly replaced and the designs redrawn, so well in fact that it requires close inspection to notice these restorations. Other minor repairs are present, including a corner repair and a closed split or two, but the overall appearance of the note is very nice. Although not strictly original, this nicely restored Montgomery $50 is ideal for a collector who needs to fill a hole in their CSA type set but doesn't want to take out a second mortgage. We expect bidding to reach or exceed. . .

Auction 310 | Lot 17093 » Confederate Notes » 1861 Issues

T5 $100 1861. This lovely "First Richmond" note is essentially free of circulation, but some very minor handling is noticed and a few very minor water spots are evident, causing us to assign a conservative grade of About Uncirculated. The colors are bright and bold on this well centered example, and the paper is bright and crisp. This lovely note is much nicer than is usually seen for this type that is scarce in any grade, and it is likely to inspire numerous bids from serious CSA type collectors.

Auction 310 | Lot 17094 » Confederate Notes » 1861 Issues

T6 $50 1861. A crisp Very Fine example of this difficult to locate type, with strong signatures and a rich green overprint. There are a few minor mounting spots that are visible only from the back, otherwise this is as pleasing and problem-free a note for the type that will ever be seen at this grade level. Of additional interest to specialists is the endorsement on the back from Seguin, Texas, giving this note double importance as both a "Trans-Mississippi" note and an example of a type that is virtually never seen in any grade.

T7 $100 1861. An extraordinary T7 with excellent centering, crisp paper, and outstanding eye appeal, this note is essentially problem-free; the only distraction being a few very minor ink spots on the back near the right end. A scarce type in any grade, this note is seldom found with such a lovely combination of technical merit and aesthetic appeal. Conservatively graded Very Fine-Extremely Fine, with a strong argument to be made for the latter grade.

T11 $5 1861. This stunning T11 is blessed with crisp paper, excellent centering, and fantastic eye appeal. This type is virtually never seen this nice, and in fact is much more often seen in grades below Very Good (most that we see are well worn and tattered). This Very Fine example certainly ranks as one of the finest T11s that we have ever seen. All serious Confederate collectors should certainly take notice of this impressive grade rarity, and we expect spirited bidding before the hammer falls somewhere in the range of. . .

Auction 310 | Lot 17100 » Confederate Notes » 1861 Issues

T12 $5 1861. This famous note was printed by Jules Manouvrier, a prominent New Orleans lithographer and printer. Because of its light blue color, the back design quickly faded on most notes, and the simplistic design caused the Confederate government to not renew its contract with the printer. Scarce in all grades, this type is especially difficult to locate in nicer circulated grades such as the note here offered. Fine-Very Fine, with two neat cut-cancellations.

Auction 310 | Lot 17102 » Confederate Notes » 1861 Issues

T15 $50 1861. This beautiful red and black CSA $50, printed by the Southern Bank Note Company (actually the New Orleans branch of the American Bank Note Company), is among the most beautiful Confederate design types--and among the most difficult to locate. This pleasing Very Fine example is essentially problem-free. The bottom margin is cut slightly into the design at the lower right, otherwise the margin is clear of the border all around. The Camp Zollicoffer Collection contains so many of these "neat" and hard-to-find early CSA types, and this is certainly no exception. A few years may pass until another opportunity to own a T15 of this quality presents itself to Confederate collectors.

T19 $20 1861. This beautifully engraved issue was printed by the Southern Bank Note Company in New Orleans, and survivors are not often seen in any grade. This pleasing Fine+ example has two cut-cancellations that are closed on the back with hinges, making them virtually unseen from the front. A tiny stain at the bottom edge is scarcely mentionable, otherwise this note is problem-free. Yet another popular Confederate type that should see numerous bidder cards in the air.

T22 $10 1861. This high grade example of this scarcer type has the paper quality of an even higher grade, but a net grade of Very Fine seems about right due to a small translucent stain near the upper left corner. Despite this minor flaw, the note is crisp, well margined, and maintains good overall eye appeal.

Printed by Keatinge & Ball, this design was made from a plate that was furnished by the Mechanics Savings Bank of Savannah, Georgia.
