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

I am with you MB.
I hope the property owner is in on this.

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.

I could not agree more... sends cold chills down my spine reading those.. the best item I found working on my current house was the remains of a union haversack discarded in my basement.. I found all the brass.. what was left of a tin of caps, a few eagle buttons and the stencil of the man who camped in our town in Feb 1862.. he was of the 12th regt Co K NHV and it hangs on my wall to this day.. even tho by the "standards" of the time he was the enemy sleeping in the house of an Officer in the 8th Va.. It was my finding that, doing the hours of deed and records research to get all that info.. that give you that "connection" to the house.. the people of the time.. If I am ever lucky enough to find the VA belt plate the homeowner wore.... it would hang on the wall right next to the stencil!

for all that asked yes the red print and date on the back are present, i still cannot believe this was in a wall. thanks to averyone who posted

There are 3 different notes on EBAY right now. I'm sure there are different variations as regards to signitures. A whole, uncut sheet, may be a different animal all-together though. Good Luck in your research. Hogge

Why is this not in the banner section?

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!

IP is right on the money
Very cool find for sure and let us know how you make out-I see Deland in your addy
Im a few west of you

Seen it, put the pictures of the back on! The first thing it makes someone think.... what is he hiding. Plus why make everyone write you to receive a pic... plus the ebay system can now be a pain for exchanging emails and pictures. That pic is well worth the extra 10 cents or whatever it is... and you don't even have to pay it in SC money.
