Confederate States of America: T-41 1862 $100

Cuhaj, George S. (2012-11-30). Confederate States Paper Money

Obv: Slaves hoeing cotton. John C. Calhoun at left, Columbia at right. The central design is copied from the $ 50 note of 1861 (No. 1). The scrolls in the upper corners come in two different styles, vertical and horizontal. Black with "Hundred" in orange/ red.
Rev: Blank

Various written dates August 1862 to January 8, 1863. Plain and watermarked paper (CSA block, CSA script, J Whatman 1862, Hodgkinson & Co. Wookey Hole Mill). The J Whatman 1862 and Hodgkinson & Co. watermarks are scarcer. The scroll varieties are of approximately the same value.

Over 70 plate letter (W to Z), scroll, date and paper varieties. If frame line varieties are included, the number increases considerably. An example of the CSA block watermark shows through the back of the $ 100 note pictured below.

All of the $ 100 interest-bearing notes generally bear interest paid markings on the back, usually straight line type with or without a rectangular border. Prices are listed for this type. Markings of certain cities that are infrequently seen are worth somewhat more. Notes bearing postmarks on the back are worth double or more (Charleston, S.C. is the most common) while other circular depository markings raise value of notes up to 25%. Notes bearing Army or Navy markings on back are worth triple. Some notes bear no markings on reverse, but they command little over the listed prices. Notes with printed bogus backs, which are described in Part II of this catalog, are worth about double in nice condition. Thian gives a total of 670,400 notes of this type, a figure that appears to be greater than it should be for this type since it is somewhat scarcer than the train types, although all are common.
