Lot 2264		1864, $10 Confederate States. B-A Plate Letter Error. PCGS Very Fine 20. . Fr-CS-68. Listed as PF-4 by Fricke, this example is one of less than ten or so discovered survivors of this rare error. It his a highly sought after error by specialists, and this new discovery is likely to inspire spirited bidding. A single short edge tear is the only mentionable flaw on this example. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500. Rosewell Bank Hoard. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,170
Lot 2265		1864, $20 Confederate States. Butterfly Error plus Bookends. PCGS Choice New 63. . Fr-CS-67. Imagine our surprise when, as we diligently searched note by note through this historic hoard, we discovered this beauty of an error. Thinking there was simply a corner fold in the upper left corner that was bent over, we reached behind…and pulled up this marvelous Butterfly! Errors of this type on Confederates are scarce but did happen from time to time, but the size and eye-catching appearance of this one makes it one of the most dramatic we have ever seen. The two bookends grade Choice New 63 and 63PPQ respectively, while the error note grades Choice New 63. Grade is almost irrelevant, however, as this note could not likely be replaced in any grade. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500. Rosewell Bank Hoard. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 2266		1864, $10 Confederate States. "F" Plate Letter at Right Corrected from "A". PCGS Fine 15. . Fr-CS-68. Listed as PF-43 in Pierre Fricke's excellent tome on Confederate Currency, this is a rare error of which only one reported example has surfaced prior to this note. It is an intriguing error, with the possibility of spirited bidding by specialists ever a possibility. Hard to estimate, but likely to easily reach or exceed our "guess." Estimated Value $800 - 1,000. Rosewell Bank Hoard. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold

Lot 2273		1864, $20 Confederate States. PCGS Gem New 65PPQ. . Fr-CS-67. This beautiful Gem example from the Roswell Bank Hoard has full margins and excellent color. True Gem Confederates are not easy to locate, as typical examples--even from the overprinted issues of 1864 that created hyperinflation before Lee's surrender at Appomatox rendered them contemprarily worthless--were often cut haphazardly and usually display some degree of centering problems or even margins that are cut well into the design. This is as nice an example as we've seen, and it will be interesting to see how much value the market will place on a very scarce high grade example of an otherwise common Confederate note. Our estimate here might prove quite conservative, perhaps even in the extreme. Estimated Value $200 - 300. Rosewell Bank Hoard. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $299
Lot 2274		1864, $20 Confederate States. PCGS Gem New 65PPQ. . Fr-CS-67. A second Gem example, fully equal to the note above. Estimated Value $200 - 300. Rosewell Bank Hoard. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $299

Lot 2276		1864, $20 Confederate States. PCGS Gem New 65PPQ. . Fr-CS-67. A fourth and final single Gem example from the final issue of the dying Confederacy. Estimated Value $200 - 300. Rosewell Bank Hoard. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $374

Lot 2278		1861, $50 Confederate States. PMG Choice Very Fine 35. . Fr-CS-8. This Confederate $50 is mislabeled by PMG as a T-16, but the grade appears accurate enough.

Lot 2279		1864, $20 Confederate States. Gutterfold Error. PCGS Choice New 63. . Fr-CS-68. Although this error commonly occured on Confederate notes because of the rushed nature of these notes being printed, this is a larger than normal gutter fold than that normally seen. An intereting note for the specialist. Estimated Value $100 - 150. Rosewell Bank Hoard. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $98
Lot 2280		1864, $10 Confederate States. "E" Series Error. Very Fine. . Fr-CS-68.

Lot 2281		1864, $500 Confederate States. Very Fine, edge damage at left. . Fr-CS-64. A solid example of this popular type, but with a sizable chunk missing from the left edge. Estimated Value $100 - 150. View details	Unsold
Lot 2282		1862, $100 Confederate States. Gutterfold Error. Very Good, Torn. . Fr-CS-42. A low grade example and torn at the right end, but with a sizable gutterfold at lower right. Estimated Value $60 - 80. Rosewell Bank Hoard. View details	Unsold

A second original pack of 100 notes, equally as nice as the last, with this the D plate position group from the same serial number run.

A third original pack of $20 Confederates and from a different serial number run than the previous two packs, this equal in overall condition to the previous two.

Lot 2285		1864, $10 Confederate States. 93 Examples, Several with Minor Serial Number Variations. . Fr-CS-68. This group of 93 notes, all from an original pack, has many high grade examples. The average is somewhere around Choice CU, although some Aus as well as a few higher grades pieces will be included. Some interesting serial number anomolies are included here, including serial number 46505 which reads 46505/6, and serial number 46538 which appears to have a mismatched serial number. Serial number 46556 has the last "6" over a "7 as well. Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,500. Rosewell Bank Hoard. View details	Realized $6,613

The grades range from damaged VG to VF, but more importantly is the method of their storage--they are banded together with an apparently contemporary paper band that is pinned to the back few notes with a stick pen and is labeled "1000", the face value of this group. A piece of white twine also holds the group together. Probably counted and wrapped by a bank during the Civil War or shortly thereafter, a wonderful group of historical importance from this time of national crisis. Lot of 43 notes.
