Description

Confederate Currency
CT-49. Confederate Currency. 1863 $100. PMG Choice About Uncirculated 58 EPQ. Contemporary Counterfeit.
No. 83902. Plate D. Cr. 349B. Printed by Keatinge & Ball, Columbia, SC. An incredibly scarce counterfeit type that is rarely seen, particularly at this lofty grade level. PMG has only graded three pieces, with this being the second-finest one. Faint handling and ample margins give this handsome note lots of eye appeal for the grade. The AU 55 on PMG's Population Report has annotations and stains, yet it still topped the $1,000 figure at auction a year ago. This is the first individual example we have sold and about as nice as they come.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
