This is an original 1864 dated Confederate States of America $100 bill. It was issued from Richmond, Virginia and has the clearly printed date of February 17th 1864 along the top edge of the note. This is the version with the likeness of Lucy Pickens in the center. She is the only woman honored by appearing on Confederate currency. Mrs. Pickens' husband was an ambassador to Russia. She won the favor of the Russian Tsar that gave her many valuable jewels. When the Civil War broke out Mrs. Pickens sold those jewels to raise money for the Confederate cause. This note was one way the Confederate Government honored her as well as using her dedication to the Confederacy as an example of Southern devotion. In the lower left hand corner is the likeness of the 2 Confederate soldiers in uniform holding their muskets. This is the pattern known to collectors as T-65 in Criswell book on Confederate Currency. The note is in beautiful condition and 100% authentic. It has been professionally graded by the PMG Company and they rated it as being in "About Uncirculated" condition and notes that it was printed on "EQP" which stands for Exceptional paper Quality. The note comes in their acid free holder for preservation.
