T-32. Confederate Currency. 1861 $5. PMG Very Fine 30.PF-2. No. 8585. Plate AA. Printed on red fiber paper. A popular Leggett, Keatinge & Ball design type based of $5 notes issued by the Mechanics Savings Bank of Savannah, Georgia. A difficult design that is quite scarce in these more appealing mid-grades and particularly so with paper this bright. Strong overprinting remains and just a pencil annotation at back is mentioned by us and PMG in the comments section of the holder. Like most notes bearing an 1861 date, high grade examples are virtually non-existent a trait confirmed here with PMG grading none in their entire Uncirculated range.From the Wealth of the South Collection.
