Lot 2962
T-7, Cr-10, 1861, $100.00. This is the first type of Confederate note to be lithographed. Prior to T-7s all notes were printed with intagilo plates which are costly and slow. Confederate Secretary of the Treasury Memminger contracted with Hoyer & Lugwig of Richmond to print large quantity of CSA notes and bonds in mid 1861.
A number of very small edge tears with the largest being 5 mm; most are about 1 mm. Still a rare and desirable note. Very Fine.
Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,300.
