T-26. Confederate Currency. 1861 $10. PCGS Currency Choice New 63 PPQ.No. 97081, Plate X. Criswell 199. CSA Scrip watermark. Two neat cross-cut cancels. Top Pop at PCGS. This evenings offering is fully framed, while possessing good originality and great color. This is the only uncirculated example we have sold and one of the prettiest available at any grade level. Criswell 199 is a rare variety which makes this note all the more desirable. Normally cancels bring down the value of a note significantly. The one major exception has always seemed to be when a note is of such a high-caliber grade that it really does not make much of a difference whether or not there are cancellations. A stunning note bearing the provenances of such Confederate collecting luminaries as Chase, Ball, and Cowan. Another Confederate note of epic quality being offered this evening.
