FOUR RARE AND FINE FRAMED FULL SHEETS OF 1861-1862 CONFEDERATE CURRENCY.Confederate currency in fine, uncirculated condition is scarce, especially in early notes and full un-cut sheets rarely come to market, all hand-signed and numbered. This lot consists of four fine sheets all purchased from R.M. Smythe Auction, September 18, 1998. 1) sheet of eight $20 notes (T-18) printed by Hoyer & Ludwig, Richmond, VA, September 2, 1861. 2) Sheet of ten $20 notes (T-20) printed by B. Duncan, Richmond, VA. 3) Sheet of eight $5 notes (T-36) printed by J. T. Paterson, Columbia, SC. 4) Sheet of ten $1 notes (T-44) printed by B. Duncan, Columbia, SC. These $1 notes in fine condition are quite scarce. SIZE: CONDITION: 1) Uncirculated, full sheet, aged top edge, small reductions from acidic ink in Registrar's signature, but much better then average T-18's found. 2) Fine to very fine, several folds. 3) Very fine. Folds and trim. 4) Fine to very fine with two visible reductions; one in center of sheet about 1/4" and larger at right edge of sheet about 3/4"-1/2", trimmed. Not examined out of frame, but conditions appear to match the Smythe descriptions in the September 18, 1998 auction lots 1453, 1454, 1455 and 1456. 52875-13 JGS (1,000-2,000)
