Rummaging through great grandparents attic and came across this bill stuffed in the bottom of a box. It is delicate so I pressed it between 2 sheets of glass. It says Fifty Dollars, also The Confederate States of America and has the registration number(?) 37266. Also in cursive writing is Richmond Feb 17th 1861. What is its value? Edited by 9129853104

I looked it up, and your bill's serial number does not match any of the common or known fakes.Therefore, I believe it's probably real. Try going on ebay and looking for bills of similar condition. I can also pretty much guarantee that someone on her knows about these. Check back here to see what they have to say. My collection is Mainly 1853 to present american coins with a heavy bias to wheat pennies. I can grade those fairly well, as can many others here. I'm happy to help, as are most of the other members here.  |

I am not super knowledgeable about these, but based on limited experience, I would guess it to be in the $75 to $100 range.

Here is a recent ebay auction - auction bill was in slightly better condition and certified by PMG. I noticed that your bill was signed by a different Treasure and letter on left hand bottom corner is different Z vs W http://www.ebay.com/itm/T-66-PF-11-...p=true&rt=ncGood luck learning about your bill - let us know what you find out ... |

This is not really a rare CSA note and given the condition as shown in the provided pictures I would value this note at $60-$70 if sold at auction through ebay. I do think that it is authentic. |

This is really cool... I have never seen one of these. Is the paper good quality?

Fragile... it has been at the bottom of a box in an attic for over a hundred years. But it is one piece and clearly in tact. The color is good. Fascinating... the history of it. Thanks for your reply!
