The first is dated February 20, 1863. It measures 14” square and was printed on pink paper. It was lithographed by Archer & Daily of Richmond, Virginia and features an Illustration of General Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson who would die from friendly fire at the Battle of Chancellorsville three months later. It is hand-numbered “2053” and bears manuscript initials and a signature. The bond paid 7% interest. Eight $35 coupons originally were printed below the main certificate, each dated as to when it could be cashed. Once all the coupons had been clipped and cashed, the large certificate would could have been turned in for $1,000. As is the case with nearly all surviving examples of these certificates, one of the coupons (for January 1, 1865) has been clipped and likely cashed. In nice shape with some light edgewear and storage folds. The second is dated March 1, 1864. It measures approximately 17” x 28” and was printed in orange and black. The bonds were engraved by J. Archer of Richmond, Virginia and printed by Evans & Cogswell of Columbia, South Carolina. The bond paid 6% interest. The certificate is identified as being from the “Second Series.” It features an illustration of an equestrian statue of George Washington, Confederate flags, and the motto of the Confederacy, “Deo Vindice” (God as our Defender). It is hand-numbered 8548 and bears manuscript initials and a signature. Sixty $30 coupons originally were printed below the main certificate, each dated as to when it could be cashed. Once all the coupons had been clipped and cashed, the large certificate would have been eligible to exchange for $1,000. A red Confederate treasury hand stamp is in the upper right margin. As is the case with most surviving examples of these certificates, one of the coupons (for January 1, 1865) has been clipped and likely cashed. In nice shape with some edgewear and storage folds. #10112 View My Other Items For Sale Payment PayPal is preferred for both US and international payments. Other methods of payment may be possible. Shipping Domestic Shipping. Most orders are shipped to locations in the US at no additional cost. If not, shipping costs are set at a flat rate on an item-by-item basis. Media mail shipping--when available and appropriate--is inexpensive but may take between two and four weeks, especially if delivery is to the west coast. If a quick delivery is important to you, please request USPS Priority Mail or some other expedited delivery service before paying. International Shipping. International shipping is usually done through the eBay Global Shipping Program. I know that this can be expensive, but I've switched to this method because I've had too many claims of non-receipt by international buyers. If you contact me in advance of purchase it may be possible for me to ship directly to you. If I ship directly, I will only ship overseas using a trackable method; this can be expensive, and it is non-negotiable. Also, I will only enter true information on customs forms; if you have a problem paying your nation's customs fees, that is beteen you and your government, I have nothing to do with it. If you pay by PayPal, I will only ship to the shipping address specified by PayPal. All shipments are covered by my business insurance at my expense, however if you would like to purchase additional USPS insurance at your expense, let me know, and I'll adjust your invoice accordingly.
