CSA Currency has become so much sought after that it is now becoming quite difficult to obtain in decent condition. All grades of CSA currency are now rapidly disappearing into collections. The "T" numbers and the Subtype numbers refer to the Criswell Catalog numbers of the CSA Currency. I will continue to offer a small selection of CSA Currency to complement the Postal History as it becomes available. All the notes listed are in grades which are very collectible. Due to the extreme difficulty in obtaining CSA currency, I cannot offer discounts on these items to anyone. The CSA Member and Dealer Discounts do not apply to the currency section as I am offering these items at the lowest possible prices already. I believe the notes are fairly graded using the standard grading system.

CC1501

Period Bogus CSA $20.00 Note (XX1-C1) known as “Female Riding Deer” 3rd face design, written serial numbers, printed signatures, plain paper, Back A in Green. This note is purely a printer’s fantasy as no such design was ever issued by the Confederacy, but it is contemporary to the Confederate period and was believed to have been sold by Samuel Upham of Philadelphia as a souvenir VF-XF.
$300.00
CC1524
6/27/2008
CSA $100.00 Note Period Counterfeit (CT-41) (Slaves Hoeing Cotton, John C. Calhoun, Confederacy personified) Serial Letter W with written serial numbers and written signatures. The counterfeit is identified by the somewhat unusual appearance of the Calhoun portrait and the presence on the back of the fake issue boxed backstamp “Issued from Treasrs Office Jackson, Miss” illustrated on Page 299 of Criswell’s 1996 Confederate Paper Money Catalog. The paper is also quite thin and very different from the fine quality bank note paper of the originals. It should be noted that there is also a genuine Interest Paid at Macon red backstamp on the note indicating that the note was easily accepted as genuine at the time. This is a scarce period counterfeit in high grade Uncirculated condition.
