4. Excavated, tiny silver 3 cent piece, also known as a "Trime".  It was recovered from an 1863 Confederate camp at the base of the Cumberland Plateau.  This coin has a well worn, small hole where the soldier was wearing it around his neck.  The hole, unfortunately, goes right through the date, but the last digit of the date can still be clearly seen, allowing us to know that the coin is dated 1858.  Just a cool little personal artifact dropped by a Confederate soldier on his way to Chickamauga.--$25.SOLD

5. Seldom seen, 1858 date, $1 note from the Mechanics Bank of Augusta, Georgia.  This note is serial number 3680 and has a portrait of George Washington on the extreme left and an Eagle in the center of the note.  Bank notes, like this one, saw usage throughout the Civil War.--$95.

12. Very nice archively framed grouping of Confederate currency and also a Confederate slave document.  The slave document is dated February 15, 1839, and is a Bill of Sale for a young slave girl.  She is guaranteed to be "sound in body and mind".  Also from the Crane family are five excellent condition Confederate notes consisting of an 1863 $1 note, an 1864 $10 note, an 1862 $2 note, a February 17, 1864, $20 note, and a February 17, 1864, $100 Confederate note.  All of the Confederate notes and the Confederate slave Bill of Sale are in very nice condition and are framed on acid-free matting with light-filtering glass.--$475.SOLD

13. Beautiful, uncirculated condition, $10 State of Texas warranty note.  This note was authorized on December 15, 1863, and was issued on February 10, 1865.  You couldn't ask for a more perfect condition Texas note.--$89.

16. 1849 date, United States large Cent that appears to be on the way to becoming a spur rowel.  The hole in the center is complete, but the points were not fashioned yet.  Also, an 1863 Indian Head Cent with a small hole for wearing it as a necklace or watch fob.  There is also an excavated, coat size, Confederate used Sportsman button with a buck deer on it.  A very attractive display for the money.--$49.

17. Excavated pair of pre-Civil War silver coins recovered from an 1863 Confederate winter camp.  One of these coins is an 1854 date dime, and the other coin is an 1854 date silver quarter.  Each of the coins has a small hole, and the tale that I have always been told is that the Confederate soldiers often wore a silver dime or quarter on a string around their neck so that at all times they had enough money for a meal.  When you realize that gravity, these two silver coins really do represent something.--$48. for both.SOLD

18. Excellent, uncirculated condition, February 1, 1863 dated, State of South Carolina 25 cent note.  This note remains in near perfect condition.--$38.

22. Check signed "S. Remington".  7 1/4 x 2 1/2, March 17, 1860, Check is for $5, made out to himself for expenses and drawn on Remington's account at the Ilion Bank in Ilion, New York.  Samuel Remington (1819 - 1892) was the son of Eliphalet Remington II, the founder of Remington Arms.  Samuel joined his father's company in 1845 when it was named E. Remington & Sons and became a partner in the company.  This is an excellent Civil War Era document from a family of very important people during the American Civil War.--$95.

23. Very nice historic grouping containing three $50 Confederate notes that have been handed down and are original to the historic Cedar Grove plantation house that is located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.  The notes remain in solid condition but have clearly been circulated and come with a signed family affidavit verifying that these notes are original to the Cedar Grove plantation.  It isn't often that we have Confederate currency come in that has an iron-clad, single family history back to the Civil War.--$275.for all three notes along with their documenting history.

24. Just in out of a South Carolina estate, February 1, 1863 date,  South Carolina fractional note.  The note interestingly states, will pay bearer on demand "in current funds" (whether it's US or CS).  The note is quite circulated but remains strong and stable.--$48.SOLD

31. Indian Head token, G.C. Porter & Co. Clothing and Dry Goods, Meadville, PA.  Although undated, these tokens are believed to have been issued in 1863.  The token has a hole in the top where it appears to have been worn as a necklace at some point in time.  This is a neat Civil War Era Pennsylvania store token.--$38.

32. Extremely ornate, 1860, Bank of the State of South Carolina note with beautiful graphics typical of life in Charleston around 1860.  The note is circulated but remains complete and sound.  This note would make a fine addition to any Civil War display.--$65.

33. Very attractive, circulated February 17, 1864, Confederate $10 horses pulling the cannon note.  This note clearly shows circulation but remains complete and very sound.  The lady who was cutting the note apparently had a rough previous night and got portions of three adjoining notes with this note.  It is a very early serial number of 900.--$65.

34. Very attractive, February 17, 1864, issue of the Lucy Pickens $100 Confederate note.  This note is serial number 72062.  Apparently the ladies that sat and signed and cut Confederate notes all day long every day had grown weary, because this one has a quite uneven angular cut.  If I had to sit, sign, and cut Confederate notes all day long every day, I'm certain mine would be more uneven than this one is.--$110.

35. Quite rare, 1862 date, State of Arkansas Treasury Warrant.  The note is serial number 137438.  This scarce note is only lightly circulated, is dated July 22, 1862, and has the Arkansas State Seal in the center of the note.--$175.SOLD

36. Very ornate, March of 1863, $5 State of Louisiana mid-Civil War note.  I am unsure of the meaning of the graphics in the center of the note, but it appears to be a warrior with his foot on an Eagle's neck, holding the Eagle down, with a drawn sword about to run through a young lady on the ground.  This note was issued out of Shreveport, Louisiana, on March 10, 1863.--$75.

37. Beautiful graphics and in near uncirculated condition, 1860 date $5 note from the State Bank of South Carolina.  This South Carolina note will add a touch of color and ornateness to your collection.--$85.

50. Beautiful condition (near uncirculated), Confederate, February 17, 1864, (horses pulling the cannon) $10 note.  The most interesting thing about this note is that it appears to have two different serial numbers on the same note (20951 at one location and 30951 at another location.--$75.

61. Quite rare, $50 Treasury Warrant from the State of Texas.  This $50 note was authorized December 15, 1863, but wasn't actually produced until January 26, 1865.  Every Texas collection should have at least one "Texas Treasury Warrant" note.--$89.

62. Extremely rare, excavated, 1788 (as best as I can tell), "Connecticut Copper".  This is the oldest American produced coin that I have ever had to offer for sale.  Detail is only fair, but considering that this coin is 231 years old and spent the last 150 years underground, I suspect it is in about as nice condition as one could hope for.  It has a smooth, chocolate patina with just a little green, and displays very nicely.--$85.

85. Quite rare, 1862 date, State of Missouri $5 note.  This note was printed in Jefferson City, Missouri.  At some point in the past, someone has attached the note to a clear backing by a little drop of glue in each corner.  The note has a little fraying along the top left edge, and I'm sure the clear backing was done to help stabilize the note.  We don't get State of Missouri Civil War date currency very often.--$115.
