1863 south carolina paper currency

[PI PRO]

hi everyone, during a remodel in Conn. , i was removing plaster in a 1920 home
and after the plaster was gone the remaining wood boards needed to go, when removed i found inside a space some newspapers, and this full sheet of currency. i have searched for days trying to get a value, but it is all single bills, i have seen nothing of a full sheet. please i need help with this, any info would be great. thanks

My impression is these notes came with the denomination (and sometimes the issue day) printed in RED on the reverse, in a manner that the RED letters would appear in reverse from the obverse side.
Maybe your sheet was awaiting that next step.
Don....

You want an idea of value, and to make some serious contacts for interested parties... list it on Ebay for 10 days with a reserve that you know it would never reach, or one you would be VERY happy to sell them for, and go from there. It's a starting point, no risk, and will only cost you a few dollars for the best advertising you'll ever get.

Being in sheet form and great condition it's gotta have some value!

Once in a while you'll hear someone knock the E for one reason or another, but if you want to find the serious players, that's where they be! It's called collectors disease.

Civil War fractional currency is highly sought after and worth a lot of money!!!!. A whole uncut sheet in that condition is worth a small fortune. That is a banner find for sure and worth a lot of money . Google "fractional currency" and read on. Congrats to you!!

I am also thinking eBay is the best way to go. Put a 5,000 reserve on it..

You have to wonder if those walls hold a bunch more of this currency? I hope that you zipped your lip to the homeowner, on your find.

Oh, I wish I could say it, but I'd get booted!




Banner what?

Hmm... as the "homeowner" of two 1775 era properties.. who completely renovated them.. I hope the homeowner does know. It is a part of the history of the house. I shudder to think what people found in my house and tucked away as they walked out.. given what I found, since I did a ton of the work myself.. it's just like sharing finds with the land owner if they are interested.. it is only fair.

Ok.. off my soapbox now.

you know looking at this currency i found another site that had stats of deaths in every battle of the CW
and all you can say is OMG. read things like that then look at that paper.

What a great historical find! I wonder what the story is behind them? How did they end up in the wall?

I'd suggest you get the sheet professionally reviewed, authenticated by a reputable company and evaluated THEN proceed with whatever you wish to do.
