11. 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

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

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.

17. 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.

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.

28. 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.

29. 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

30. 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.

44. 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.

56. 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.

79. 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.
