Here is a nice authentic 1863 dated Confederate States of America $1,000.00 savings bond. This is the beautiful style that has the Confederate President Jefferson Davis at the left of the top. It was lithographed by the famous company B. Duncan of Columbia, South Carolina. This one has 10 of the original coupons attached at the bottom which is the correct amount for the end of the war. When the date on the coupon arrived that is printed on the bottom of the coupon you could cash it in for your interest payment, if the Confederacy would have won. It is hand signed and numbered by the Confederate Government. This is the style listed as CR-86 in the Confederate bond book by Criswell and as #66 in the Ball Bond Book. The Confederate Government issued only 1,600 of these bonds and this one is numbered "1353" in ink. After the Confederacy fell to the Union and the war was over, there were still thousands of dollars of Confederate bonds in banks and private hands over seas. The bonds still had to be accounted for overseas. This stamp shows that this one was accounted for in Amsterdam in November of 1865 on the reverse. This will make a fine display as it is or it will look even better framed up on you office or relic room wall.
