1864 Richmond Confederate $10.00 Bill...help

Your bill is a souvenir item.

This bill is 100% REAL. ArrowAndRays info is completely false.

Likely between $20 and $30 retail.

Genuine notes will have paper that feels like tissue paper when felt in-hand. Another thing to look for is the signatures -- They are normally done in brown ink and were done by hand with heavier and lighter ink throughout the signature.

Fake notes will usually have a thicker and stiff feeling paper. They are usually washed to look old and they will have black printed signatures. You can also look up known fake serials here:

Your pictured note is 100% genuine!

Most of the counterfeits seen today are from the 1960's and were sold in souvenir shops and Woolworth-type stores during the Civil War centennial years. Those counterfeits have the word "facsimile" along the bottom margin on the backside of the notes. Replica notes were also given away in cereal boxes, too! (If I remember correctly it was Cheerios!)

Those replica/facsimile notes have printed signatures usually in black ink. As others have noted most genuine notes have hand signed signatures and hand printed serial numbers in sepia ink.
