Cathy writes: Hi Doc, I have a 1864 Confederate States of America five-hundred dollar bill that is dated Feb 17th, 1864. It’s in fairly poor condition, but I was wondering what type of value this bill holds. It was found between the walls of an old house that was being demolished. Thanking you in advance for your time.
This is a scarce type. The note has red underprinting, a confederate seal with an equestrian statue of George Washington below the Confederate flag at left. General “Stonewall” Jackson is at lower right. Low grade but intact examples bring $100-$200.
