T-23. Confederate Currency. 1861 $10. PMG Very Fine 30. No. 9421. Plate A1. Here is a mid-grade example of a well-made design produced under the authority of the Confederate States of America. This note bears a strong resemblance to the Obsoletes of the 1850s with regards to the composition as the design of this piece was adapted from a plate supplied by Mechanics Savings Bank of Savannah that had been used during the late 1850s. A vignette depicting a wagon loaded with cotton being brought to market accounts for the primary focus of the viewer's attention while a pair of subsidiary vignettes may be observed at left and right along the margins. At left, a portrait of John Elliot Ward who left the South upon succession to practice law in New York may be seen opposite a vignette entitled The Corn Gatherer which had been used or at least sampled by a number of banks in the North. Good eye appeal is retained, and an apparent lack of oxidation may be observed as the underprint retains its original coloration. Furthermore, one may observe that no cancellations are noticed making this a fine example for the collector looking to build a complete set of notes issued under the authority of the Confederate States of America. PMG comments "Stains, Annotations." Estimate: $1,500 - $2,500. Click here for certification details from PMG.
