Confederate Paper Money

looks real to me.....there were 9,145,000 of this $10 issued with the horses pulling canons in the center and RMT Hunter in the bottom right corner.....a little research put it between $30-$40 for sale value.....hope this helps

Everything looks good, with some fade, except for one detail. I can't find another example of a "Wilson" signature (lower right) on any other example of the 1864 series. That doesn't mean the bill is counterfeit, as the bills were signed by clerks, but it's a very common problem with counterfeits.

Vermont,

If yours is a 'Wilson', what's the serial #, if you don't mind. I actually track that sort of thing for authentication purposes.

"Do they have any value in this condition ?"

Only down South.

Quick way to check is look up the serial number, several sites list known fakes.

Since notes were hand signed and numbered, and that ink isn't as stable as printers' ink, signatures and serials often fade, while the rest of the printing is still black.

A note where everything is the same intensity black is almost a sure-fire copy.

Also, the brown, brittle paper notes are copies they sold at Kresge's, Woolworth's and souvenir shops. There were a few rare instances of printers using crappy paper if nothing else was available, but most paper money is printed on high rag content paper, which will stand up to repeated folding.

The serial numbers and signatures have the right look for the period fountain pen ink. Perhaps this is a previously unknown signature combination. Definitely needs more research.

Are there any signature combinations of this denomation dated 1864 which have a significant premium over the others, anyone?
