1864 $20 CONFEDERATE NOTE
This is an original 1864 Twenty Dollar Confederate Note that circulated during the CIVIL WAR. This note is in FINE+ condition with a small 1/16" into the border. It has EXCELLENT color and the paper is VERY CRISP. The serial number for this note is 29140. Both the serial number and signatures have been hand written. This note has a letter plate D. The obverse of this note is pink and features the Nashville Capitol building and A.H.Stephens lower right. The reverse features a blue webbed design with the denomination. After the Civil War broke out in 1861, the newly established Confederate government began to issue it's own money as legal tender to the citizens of the South. The gamble was that if the South won the war, the money would be redeemable. The 1st note from the Government of the Confederate States of America was issued in April of 1861. From then on, notes were issued on through 1864. Almost every Confederate note was painstakingly hand signed and numbered. It is not uncommon for these notes to have uneven, or rough borders since scissors or shears were used to hastily cut the sheets of notes apart. This note has a GREAT cut with nice eye appeal.
