Lot 2293
$1,000 in Confederate Currency. . Fr-T-72. This intriguing group of 43 series 1864 notes consists of 31 T-68 $10s, two T-67 $20s, seven T-66 $50s, and three T-65 $100s. 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.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
