"Notes from countries that didn't issue coins" are the only banknotes I seriously collect nowadays. I only have one genuine Confederate note, a $5 "blueback": Front and backBought it off ebay from a US seller. They're fairly easy to get, but not cheap - I had to wait a long time before obtaining a nice condition note for under US$50. There's lots of imitation ones out there, too, and some of these reproductions are more convincing than others. I had a Confed $1 note in my collection for years (found it in a bargain box at a local coin show in the 1980's), pretty worn and tatty-looking, but it had pride of place in my collection until I showed it to a dealer who declared it to be a repro. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

"Are they easy to obtain and are they expensive."
Yes, they are easy to obtain from dealers, flea markets, etc.
Decent CSA notes start at $20-$25, while State issues start at $10-$20.

How does one tell the authentic notes from the copies?
Are there any books or articles that I can purchase to read up on Confederate Notes?

Well really The Redish brown ink Is one way to tell, the othre is the way the note was printed when you look at the image under magnification you will see, a perfect series of dots and lines which make up the picture. (There is an Art tyle I studied in school) but cant remmeber the name of it well any way for a crude example you will see ----- or ..... but on some counterfeit pieces you will see ---~--~. I will try to find a link to a photo I have one in My book but cant Shrink down the file size to be able to post it.

There is actually a much better list of CSA copies here: http://www.crutchwilliams.com/BogusCSA_RoTx.htmlThe vast majority of copies of CSA, state or obsolete copies can be detected by looking for either of two telltale signs. First, many are printed on artificially and evenly aged brownish stiff paper, often with a wavy texture. Second, these, as well as others copies printed on other types of paper, nearly always have printed signatures, dates and/or serial numbers. Look closely at the written portions to see if they are actually written rather than printed. The color of the ink should be slightly to very different than the printed portions of the note. |

My 2 notes arrived today and I have checked the listing of copies and mine are not on. I managed to get a $19 and a $50 note dated in Richmond 17th February, 1864. Now I think I need to expand and obtain some more....  |
