Confederate Bank Note: Circa 1862

[Eaglebuttons]

I just thought this was cool and wanted to share it with you. It isn't in good condition, but it's my first one.

Congratulations, there were two versions of this note and they are usually in a worn condition. Welcome to the world of collecting. Interesting bill, there were 2,102,200 of these printed and 25% have the green overprint. Is the "1" and the word "one" in green?

Wow! Congratulations on your first note.

Thank you so much for the information! The word one and 1 are not green.

There was an overprint on that bill. Can you see the word "ONE" printed across the front of the bill? Plus there is the number 1 on the left of the bill. Both were in green ink.

Welcome, enjoy. Collecting is both educational and fun.

Just don't do something STUPID like I did with my first one and LAMINATE it:

Here's one in about the same condition as the op's that recently sold on Ebay

How did you unlaminate it?

How did you unlaminate it?

I'm not aware there is a way to un-laminate something - James N. are those edges I see in the picture the laminate coating?

 

[James N.]

How did you unlaminate it?

I haven't - I don't think it's possible!

Exactly - that was what I was cautioning against.

I think you have a rare H-A plen error!!! These are very very rare! The "H" on the left looks more like an A! Don't get excited about the value though. If it is an error, since you can't see it that well, it's probably worth just what it would be as a type note. Congratulations either way though!

 

[Pollaco]

Are you referring to the

H in the upper left corner? Mine looks like an H.

Sorry about the confusion. I meant the right plate letter on his laminated note. It comes up more like an A then a H. It's slightly more pointed.

 

[TucsonReb]

It probably can't be verified because half of the top is gone.

Two examples of the green overprint.

That's so amazing where did you get it?

I don't know how I could be so STUPID... there is no H-A plen error, but rather a C-A error. Sorry for any inaccuracies I may of caused. Leave it to @Bur Oak ---(a fellow currency collector) to set this right.

Sounds like I struck a nerve. Sorry if I've offended you in the past.

You were originally correct in saying there is a type 68 H-A error. Check out the variety listed as PF-58.

It's difficult to see. I may be wrong, but to me, the left leg of the suspect letter looks wide, like it would be on an "H" rather than a small triangle like it would be on an "A." I agree with the rest of the post.

Considering that the example listed in Fricke's 2014 book was unique, the odds of the note posted above being another one are extremely slim.
