The very popular $5 T-32 CSA NOTE that features a blacksmith at the right side with a sledge hammer, anvil and tools, along with a young boy at the left. Printing done by Leggett, Keatinge & Ball in Richmond, VA.
Dated September 2nd 1861. Plate letter A on plain paper. Serial number 2540 hand written in red ink. Conservatively graded to be VERY GOOD+ condition.
This issue is typically found faded and worn, with repairs and/or cancellations, due to it being a "workhorse" note that circulated heavily early in the War. Only 20,333 were issued over the short period of November 15th 1861 to December 30th 1861.
This example is fully intact, with no repairs or cut-cancels. The orange overprint on the front still shows. Numerous folds and creases have caused the paper to lose most of its crispness.
Fully framed, with a full borderline visible, which is not commonly found. Several small margin nicks, but no major tears. Numerous pinholes are present, with two larger size ink erosion holes in the center.
A tough note to acquire, especially without repairs or cancellations. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.
Price: $895.00
