1. $2 State of North Carolina note.  This is a circulated note but very stable.  It is an Oct. 1861 issue and was printed on the back of earlier printed notes due to paper shortage in the South and is really a cool piece of Southern history.--$45.
2. This beautiful and very rare $3 gold coin was dug a couple days ago by Chauncey Cunningham - one of my hunting buddies.  It has an 1854 date and has fantastic detail.  It was recovered from a Confederate Cavalry camp site located near Fosterville, TN.  This would be a really big dollar coin except back during Civil War days it apparently had a little loop for a chain attached to the reverse and you can see a small mark at the spot the loop was once attached.  The coin is otherwise just super nice.--$375.
3. I guess that you never stop having firsts !!  In 35 years of selling relics this is the first "Type Set" of 1861 gold coins that I've ever had to offer.  Gold coins from the opening year of the war are really tough to come by.  These coins are in very nice condition grading from "Very Fine" to a couple approaching "Mint State".  The $1 coin has a small area on the edge where it at one time had a loop on the edge for a necklace - all the other examples are really nice and problem free.  Everyone - including all the old timers - that has seen this fine set of Civil War Gold coins have literally gasped at their beauty.  At today's gold market there is right at $2,000. worth of raw gold in these coins and that's not counting the historic significance for anything and many are expecting gold prices to go considerably higher.  Here is a chance to own a set of gold "opening year of the War" coins in great condition and at a price that is very little more than the raw gold value in the coins.--$2,500.SOLD
4. Really pretty 1862 Virginia one dollar Treasury note.  It is a circulated note with attractive colorful red overprint.--$55.SOLD
5. Quite scarce "April 6, 1863" Confederate one dollar note.  This is a circulated note in very sound, stable condition.--$65.
6. 15-cent 1863 date fractional note from the Confederate state South Carolina.  This would make a great unusual and meaningful gift to the Civil War buff in your family and not bust the budget.--$45.SOLD
