Hi, I have no experience about collecting banknotes, but several days ago we found a confederate note of 1 million dollar from our grandpa trunk, what I want to know is it worth? can you give us estimate the price if we are going to sell it? Thank you in advance and looking to any feedback from members  |

It's a souvenir note for admission to the Atlanta World Famous Cyclorama Painting of the Battle of Atlanta in 1959.
It's hard to put a value on ephemera like this because it is more a novelty item than a banknote.

It's in miserable condition for a 50 year old "note". I've seen notes from the actual date in far better condition. OTOH, I find none on ebay, or even on the net. If you put it on ebay, play up the cyclorama and Atlanta connections as well as the "confederate note" part. Who knows, it may be scarce enough to bring big money. Personally, I'd shoot for the big money, but if it only brought $20, I'd be happy. |

yes I agree with you, the condition is quite poor, and I have checked about it everywhere and it returned zero, that is why I thought it must be rare, or I could be wrong :D

The backside tells you all you need to know- it is most certainly not genuine Confederate currency as it was printed in 1959 as a tourism promotion by Atlanta. Not to mention the fact that no $1 million Confederate notes were ever printed. Value would probably be a few dollars as a novelty. It would probably garner more interest from Atlantan ephemera collectors than it would the rest of the country.

Not similar, the exact item, including serial number.
No one jumping on 10/$6.50, but that's not to say next week someone wouldn't bid $50 on one.

the reason I said similar is because the printing on the back is different. They broke the wording into two paragraphs on the notes on ebay and this one is all together. I am guessing they broke it up so you could see the words ONE MILLION on the notes Reverse. I thought maybe this one was an earlier release and then maybe they broke up the wording to show the denomination on the Reverse instead of covering it up like on the one here |

I have one of these, but no printing of any sort on the back (except the blue), is it different to others

Welcome to CCF @looseunit
Looks like Mr. Peabody and Sherman set the WayBack Machine to April 2011 for this thread.

Help me understand something. There was no Confederacy until 1961. I see on the note that a date on there is from 1964. I'm assuming this note was printed that year. It was commemmorating an event that occured in 1959 when Atlanta's population surpassed one million.
I think I would pass on buying this, but there are people who like collecting anything Confederate.

Everything about the Confederacy was a century before these dates. |
