T-5. Confederate Currency. 1861 $100. PMG Very Fine 25 Net. Repaired

T-5. Confederate Currency. 1861 $100. PMG Very Fine 25 Net. Repaired, Annotation. Penned Civilian Endorsement. "William J. Bromwell, Clerk - CSA Department of State." No. 5777. Plate B. An evenly circulated product of the Southern Bank Note Company out of New Orleans. This T-5 $100 is a particularly historic example of this tough design issued during the early stages of the conflict. Here a level of detail that would later be lost as the Confederacy's strategic position worsened as a result of major defeats on the battlefield may be noticed, but looking to the back one may notice the impetus behind the "Annotation" comment from PMG which also makes this note a noted rarity among known survivors. Penned in red ink, the penned endorsement of William J. Bromwell who had worked as a Clerk at the Confederate State Department can be seen in the company of three additional endorsements dating to 1864 and 1865. Now Bromwell is a particularly significant endorsement and one that can be considered rare as only two other notes with his endorsement can be traced back to 2009 while his shrewd actions at the end of the war ensured the survival of countless primary source documents that detailed the innerworkings and dealings of the Confederate State Department. PMG comments "Repaired, Annotation." Estimate: $800 - $1,200. Click here for certification details from PMG.
