Quick value checklist

  • Record date, denomination, type number if known, signatures, serial, paper, and any grading label.
  • Check whether the note is Confederate States, state-issued, bank-issued, contemporary counterfeit, or a later souvenir.
  • Look for tears, ink burn, staining, trimming, pinholes, repairs, tape, folds, and missing corners.

Key value drivers

Confederate money value is shaped by type, scarcity, grade, originality, signatures, serials, provenance, attribution review, and collector demand. Context matters: some notes are common, while specific certified issues or documented groups need specialist review.

Condition and originality cautions

Confederate currency has many reproductions and counterfeits. Do not rely on family stories alone, and do not clean, press, tape, or remove a note from a holder before photographing it.

Photo checklist

  • Front, back, signatures, serial, date, denomination, edges, holder label, and full group shot.
  • Close-ups of tears, tape, repairs, pinholes, ink, staining, trimming, folds, and missing corners.
  • Old envelopes, military records, estate notes, receipts, certificates, and prior appraisals.
