I purchased two Confederate notes on a trip to visit my sister in Georgia. I bought a CSA 10 dollar note and a 10 dollar State of Georgia note. Both are authentic and have everything you described. Regardless of the politics of their origin, they absolutely belong in US coin and currency collections.
My grandfather, Harvey Cogswell (you read that right; he died in 1927, and my father died in 1985, I'm 76 this year, 2022) likely helped print the authentic bill in this video; he was born in 1840 in Charleston (I'm pretty sure) and our family (Evans and Cogswell Lithographers) subcontracted from Keating & Ball to print some smaller denominations starting in 1862. The presses were moved to Columbia after the Union forces re-took Ft. Sumpter, thus blockading Charleston, and printed there until Sherman's forces decimated Columbia in 1864. You can see the "Lithog by Evans & Cogswell" printed vertically against the gray section (FIVE) on the left side of the bill (on some currency this is at the bottom, to left of center). We printed $1s, $2s, $5s, $10s (two varieties), and $20s at various times throughout the war; Evans and Cogswell also printed other materials for the Confederate government. I did find some reproductions of Evans & Cogswell printers' history on-line, if you're interested: one I have is titled "WAR-TIME PUBLICATIONS, 1861-1865" published by Walker, Evans, and Cogswell, Charleston, SC 1922 . . . this is an addendum to a larger volume titled "One Hundred Years of Wecco" by Yates Snowden, Univ. of South Carolina, which I have not been able to find.
I have almost hit a year of coin collecting, and I dont collect MUCH us coins at the moment (mostly royal canadian mint) but your videos are good for me to learn. Cant wait 'till its gone live, bye.
That’s why I just try to get any old currency graded already even though it’s more expensive but takes away the thought of it being fake and spending that money on a fake
Technically Confederate currency belongs to a category known as obsolete banknotes, like the notes printed for banks, towns, railroads, etc. during the Free Banking Era in the 1800s (which includes the War Between the States). Even though Confederate currency wasn't printed by the US government, it's still American currency, like the paper money produced by the American colonies during the Revolution before there was any such thing as the United States. So Confederate banknotes have a neat little niche in a collection of AMERICAN currency related to the US. But it's nice for fleshing out any collection of historical US paper money!
@@Silverpicker It actually is the focus of my collection :-) Many genuine CSA notes are readily available in collectible condition for a fraction of what it costs to collect US Greenbacks of the same grades from the same time period. Like you said though, fakes are abundant--so it's good to learn as much as possible before buying!
I have 9 different notes from the Confederate States of America. ( the 9th note I have to go pick up ). All of the Notes are Real. 1861 - $20 note 1861 cancelled $5.00 note 1862 $100 note with a Train 1863 $5 note 1864 - $ 10 - $ 20 - $50 and my most favorite note from1864 is the one with Lucy Pickens on the front of the Bill.
I got a confederate 20 and a black eagle inverted obverse at an antique store for 20 a piece. The upside down black eagle was VERY RARE. last one sold at auction for $1550 !
Great video. This currency reminds me episode on Little House on the prairie. Laura Inglalls found tons of Confederate notes. Thought she was filthy rich. Not valuable in 1870 so she used them as wallpaper in her clubhouse. Lol. Should have kept them for grandchildren.
In the UK the main form of paper currency is minted by the Bank of England. However, if you was in Scotland you will find various different banknotes that look alien to an Englishman, and they have 3 different banks that legally produce the notes..so you have 3 different £5 pound notes and onwards..and then Northern Ireland have their own too haha. Reason I mention this is because even though its classed as non legal tender..it is technically British banknotes and just makes it much more interesting for a collector. I really dig the Confederate banknotes and they should be part of a main collection as anything that is unusual or different is worthy to be part of a collection. For example I just bought a rare Royal Ming Trial £1 coin...not technically legal tender but it just adds to the diversity and history of the collection. Bloody love your vids, I've really got interested in Americana, your nations banknotes are just stunning. I've got a $1 note and compared to my other notes it just awesome. I really enjoyed your video showing how different the 1 dollar notes are from the seal colours etc.
Hi Barry, thank you so much for the nice compliments! I have traveled around the UK and have seen some of the Scottish notes too. I think I will keep one example of the Confederate note in my type set, as it is definitely a major part of US history
Hey silverpicker, I know this is off topic but have you ever used USAcoinbook? I don’t really see any reviews on it but it seems to have coins at a lower price on average than eBay. I was curious if that was due to the lower fees or is there just something I was missing. Would be interesting to hear your review of the website and the coins for sale.
I think that the confederate currency deserves to be in a US currency collection. It’s a depiction of what people who may have been stuck in the situation of the “south” during the time of the American civil war were going through. It’s a dark part of the history of the U.S however it’s still history and it is not only our right to know but our responsibility to tell. This is the ideal that were in place during a not so distant time, and this is how things have evolved to the modern day with many many advancements made. Also Thanks for the shout out I’m working on the $20 starter collection challenge.
I absolutely believe they belong. Even though they were not printed by the US government, they were printed in and for people in the US. They are also a part of American history. Great video btw 👍
Here is a weird thought. You're in New York (?) so that bill is kind of like, foreign currency, right? But I live in Virginia, and even though the CSA doesn't exist anymore, it's not really foreign currency since it could have been used here. Do we therefore categorize these differently in our collections?
Interesting thought, Mark. I think since the CSA was never an officially recognized country, I think we'd both categorize it as a bizarre portion of our US collection. Food for thought, though!
@@Silverpicker That's also a good perspective. No foreign nation ever formally recognized the CSA. It's a lot like Biafra, which I've always counted separate just so I could have more countries!
Confederate currency absolutely belongs in an American currency collection! Whether people appreciate it or not, it is a part of our country's history! But in regards to the counterfeit $5 bill, I kept waiting for you to mention the difference an ink darkness. I've never compared real to fake Confederate bills, but right when I saw both of these side by side I noticed how much darker the ink was on the fake one. Also the picture of the man on the bottom right side is a lot different on both bills. The fake one truly looks like it was printed on an old electronic printer, it's almost kind of fuzzy looking. Overall the darkness of the ink/shading on the bill is what gave it away for me. That's just my opinion and this is only my second or third look at these types of currency. I've never owned any Confederate currency but am so interested now, thank you Silverpicker!
There's some places in Texas from what I've Been Told they use their own currency in Texas in a few places in Texas one is a company town in the others are small towns throughout Texas I'm only going but what I was told
Hello SilverPicker! A quick question for you. If someone told an eBay seller who was dealing grab bags that they were a RUclipsr, would they spike the bags? And if the buyer wasn’t a RUclipsr would there be any consequences?
My $5 confederate note is exactly like the one on the bottom. It is real , I checked on the serial numbers. There is a list is fake #. I also have a 10 and 20. All 1861.
I had a feeling that the top one was fake. I do think Confederate currency should be in a collection, it a piece of history and what I've understood, you can actually buy things with these bills. This video was interesting but Confederate currency is not for me. I also love the new shirt design.
your videos are very informative and a live proof of how much you invest yourself in making them... with love from India.. PS- do you have an ebay store?
Thanks a ton, Lily! I do not have an eBay store. I would eventually like to start selling more coins online. I usually just sell them directly to my viewers on Paypal
My view on things such as Confederate Notes are the same a Baseball Cards, There only worth something to "Certain" people and their "Value" simply isn't constant. Buy Gold....
Hey silver picker this video really helped me out because I have a 10 and a 50 and the 50 turned out to be fake but i think confederate money is really cool and i really like my 10 because it has corner piece like it was torn off of another. But also I think confederate currency should be in a us money collection. Well stay safe bye.
If it was once a country, it's in my collection. I have at least 6 bills and a partial bond sheet of the CSA IN MY COLLECTION (all certified by a known collector of obsolete/demonitised currency).
The reason why I like Premiers is because it helps build community. We all watch the video together at the same time and there is a live chat so viewers can ask questions to me and to each other in real time. It's a lot of fun. What don't you like about them? If you haven't tried one yet, maybe join us tomorrow and see what you think :)
Silverpicker I understand the reasoning behind it now, it does make sense! Thanks for explaining. What I don’t like about it is that when I see a new video for a channel I like, I instantly click on it just to find a screen telling me to wait hahaha. But that’s just my fault! Anyway, keep up the awesome work, you got me into numismatics!
I have collected Civil War currency from 1980’s… I am 58. I kept the prices I paid from my notes and common ones, non-graded XF or better… same price as today on EBay. Only more rare ones or very high grade have gone up in value over 30 years. Notes like T-57 or T-56 I paid $50 usd in 1990’s now $250. One pretty T-24 I paid $125, now $400 on ebay. But common 1864 notes still sell for $40 … $40 back in 1990’s. UNION MONEY (Federal greenbacks) we’re machine cut and nearly perfect. Northern Private bank notes used high quality dip inks and the signatures are still, today, black ink. CSA and Southern banks (after war started in 1861) could only use low quality black ink that changed, over time, to brown ink…. Often eating into the paper. I have two CT-33 (period counterfeits) and both have printed black ink… and a real T-33 and same signatures but brown ink! One of the Counterfeits is crossed out as being counterfeit. If you find a real CSA in a store, do a quick check on ebay to see if fair price. Not “Rice paper” but linen based paper…. From cloth rags. Greenbacks used same paper as today but a bit thinner.
Do they belong in a US currency collection? I think yes. While they aren't actually from the US, they were still minted by US States and are a part of American history, perfect for anyone's collection.
You can definitely get good deals on silver and gold at www.sdbullion.com/silverpicker. Plus, if you use my link, I get a little piece of it and it doesn't cost you any extra!
I think they are museum pieces. And that is where they belong. In a private collection few people get to see them. Unless, of course if the owners put them on display on RUclips. That is even better!
There's his town in the south it's a very small town it's not even on the map where the residents this small town only use is money of the Confederacy at the Confederate States of America did you not take American currency at the union the money has to say Confederate States of America on the currency
Good video, but you need not say “immorality and evil”. We get it, slavery. Don’t feel the need to be redundant in your verbal disclaimer. A dark chapter though it is, the Confederacy is part of American history and also included much honor and valor, not to be viewed entirely with shame.

I think confederate bills do belong in the us currency because they are a big piece of us history

Wow that is absolutely fascinating! You must have some pretty interesting stories
Thanks for sharing your family history with us, that is truly amazing.
I think it belongs in a U.S.A. currency collection because its after the country was founded.
Yes, I believe Confederate Currency has a unique place in US Currency collections.
The CSA also only made 50 cent coins and stamps
Now collect north Korean currency
Hey How Did The Surgery Go...?
I have a video with North Korean currency! It's a few years old, but I did it
I actually collect north Korean currency
My most expensive bill in fact is an 1864 confederate $50 and the signature went through the paper
that's the acid from the ink. Totally normal.
Excited and happy to know that we will learn something new and very important ♥️
Thanks Tanvir! Love the enthusiasm!
I have almost hit a year of coin collecting, and I dont collect MUCH us coins at the moment (mostly royal canadian mint) but your videos are good for me to learn. Cant wait 'till its gone live, bye.

That’s why I just try to get any old currency graded already even though it’s more expensive but takes away the thought of it being fake and spending that money on a fake
Can't wait for this.... top one, fake! :) Love the hoodie btw
Thanks! (and you may be right 😁)
Yay I can't wait! Love your videos!
Do you know why some confederate notes are colored and some are just black ink
I think it had to do with availability of ink and presses in the south at that time
I got one just like that I bought from a local antique mall thanks for telling me that mine is authentic the only difference is that it’s a $10 bill
This is an excellent video. I used that serial list site when bidding in an auction a couple of years ago.
Thank you so much to realize and post this video. I enjoy a lot. Do you give me enough and precios and puntual information. Thank you again.
My pleasure!
Thanks to this video, I saved myself over $100. Was going to buy a collection but realized they were fakes
Sooo glad to hear that my video saved you!! Fantastic!
How can one tell if a coin is fake?
Depends on the coin
Silverpicker give me some examples!
Technically Confederate currency belongs to a category known as obsolete banknotes, like the notes printed for banks, towns, railroads, etc. during the Free Banking Era in the 1800s (which includes the War Between the States).

I feel the same way. It's a "nice to have" that enriches the collection but doesn't need to be the focus
@@Silverpicker It actually is the focus of my collection :-) Many genuine CSA notes are readily available in collectible condition for a fraction of what it costs to collect US Greenbacks of the same grades from the same time period. Like you said though, fakes are abundant--so it's good to learn as much as possible before buying!
Thank you deeply for this information. I was ready to finally buy a couple Confederate bills and now I have a fighting chance to get the real thing.
Awesome! Good luck, Todd
I noticed the fake just by the thumbnail. I love collecting confederate money
I have one for sale if you're interested. I brought it from Pawn Stars in Las Vegas about 8 years ago.
I would say any banknote (including the Confederate ones) printed in the current territory of the USA after 1776 could be considered US currency.
That's a very fair point
I have 9 different notes from the Confederate States of America. ( the 9th note I have to go pick up ). All of the Notes are Real.
1861 - $20 note
1861 cancelled $5.00 note

Yes confederate currency does belong in a us currency collection because it is part of the history.
Nice video, this is what collect is .. art with history.
It is really great that you tell the people about collecing.
I have these US original 10 bank notes. Will be brought to the media very soon.
Excited 😁!!!
All Confederate notes were hand signed except the 50 cent fractional notes. Those notes had printed signatures.
Where can we sell confederate bills?

Awesome! Makes me feel good to hear that
Have you thought about talking about a video on Scottish money that they used in Scotland in the 17th century
I'm not really familiar with it. If I were to come across some I might!
I have a $50 confederate banknote. And I believe that csa banknotes believe are In part of us coin collections
Do you keep yours with your USA currency?
I absolutely believe they belong. Even though they were not printed by the US government, they were printed in and for people in the US. They are also a part of American history. Great video btw 👍

Hello SilverPicker! A quick question for you. If someone told an eBay seller who was dealing grab bags that they were a RUclipsr, would they spike the bags? And if the buyer wasn’t a RUclipsr would there be any consequences?
I believe they would likely spike the bag and I doubt the seller would have any recourse unless you impersonated an actual RUclipsr, making it fraud.
Silverpicker thanks!
thank you for sharing this video
My pleasure!
Glad I buy from trusted vendors
I don't have any Confederate notes as of right now. 1 I never find them and 2 I never look. It's mostly 2 though
Lol I hear that. You mostly collect non-US coins though, right?
@@Silverpicker at this point yes. I like the multitude of different designs associated with foreign coins.
love your vids
Thanks!!
Very interesting. Yes, valuable to learn about.
My $5 confederate note is exactly like the one on the bottom. It is real , I checked on the serial numbers. There is a list is fake #. I also have a 10 and 20. All 1861.
Before I lost my storage, I had a collection of Confederate money and I had several different denominations, including 500,1000, and 5000.
Wow, sorry to hear you lost it
Looking forward to it 😊
Are all confederate notes valued above face value or not?
I would guess so
Hopefully in this next week we get a double upload 😏😏🥴
I sort of did a double upload this week (I revamped my welcome video)
Really interesting video, I don't live in the US so the chance for me to find one of them is really small.
That is true, but they're not super expensive online!
do you know if there were confederate coins?
I saw a lot of replicas or tokens but didn't see any real coins
I believe htere were a few that were minted in very small quantities
I had a feeling that the top one was fake.
I do think Confederate currency should be in a collection, it a piece of history and what I've understood, you can actually buy things with these bills.

Do a video on obsolete currency
My view on things such as Confederate Notes are the same a Baseball Cards, There only worth something to "Certain" people and their "Value" simply isn't constant. Buy Gold....
Fair point, but I guess that's true about all non-pm numismatic items

I have a couple confederate bills from my father. Are they actually worth money?
Absolutely!
I love ur videos pls reply

Great video!!! Thanks for the info! What's really scary is I'm posting this on February 17th 2021! 4:13 Lol!! What are the odds?!?
As long as it’s not from 1861 or a 50 dollar gold confederete coin it ain’t worth to much

I have collected Civil War currency from 1980’s… I am 58. I kept the prices I paid from my notes and common ones, non-graded XF or better… same price as today on EBay.
Only more rare ones or very high grade have gone up in value over 30 years.

Not “Rice paper” but linen based paper…. From cloth rags. Greenbacks used same paper as today but a bit thinner.
The top one before I even start the vid
some of my bills the ink ate through the bill because of the acidity.
Wow that's interesting
yes, I think every U.S. collection should have confederate currency in it because it was from our heritage.
Do they belong in a US currency collection? I think yes. While they aren't actually from the US, they were still minted by US States and are a part of American history, perfect for anyone's collection.
But these states had seceded from the republic ... so the rational is flawed ... but I still think history ... good or bad is history ...
Printed, not minted!

When I saw or stop by and Confederate money it looks like play money
Im so excited
Pretty sure no csa money has a back printed on it.
Me and my family have over $50,000 worth of Confederate Currency
Wow that's some collection! Do you have all the different types?
I think they are museum pieces. And that is where they belong. In a private collection few people get to see them. Unless, of course if the owners put them on display on RUclips. That is even better!

There's his town in the south it's a very small town it's not even on the map where the residents this small town only use is money of the Confederacy at the Confederate States of America did you not take American currency at the union the money has to say Confederate States of America on the currency

great vid
Yes, they do belong in a set of US currency.
Thanks David!
My grandma gave me some of these
Interesting. Real or reproductions?
Yes, because the confederate is a part of US history.
Confederate bank note was nothing more than an IOU
Good video, but you need not say “immorality and evil”. We get it, slavery. Don’t feel the need to be redundant in your verbal disclaimer. A dark chapter though it is, the Confederacy is part of American history and also included much honor and valor, not to be viewed entirely with shame.
I have to disagree with you. It’s hard to applaud honor and valor when it was used in defense of slavery
Yes. I have 1811 1860 1861 1862 1864 USA NOTE DOLLAR
Yeah because it is in the same continent.
So are Canada and Mexico, though
no because they committed treason
Fair point
