Old Rare Confederate Currency

Mississippi became the second state to secede from the Union on January 09, 1861. The Magnolia State printed several interesting issues of confederate money during the Civil War. The first issue authorized 1,000,000.00 in Treasury Notes for a military fund.

We are pleased to present this obsolete collection of $2 and $3 Confederate dollar bills. 1864 Civil War dated.

Imperial Chinese Government Bond

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and to my eye these Hukuang Railways bonds are among the most attractive pieces ever to bear stamps.

£100 5% Hukuang Railways Sinking Fund Gold Loan of 1911 Bond. Uncancelled. Several coupons. It is important to stress that these bonds have been bought in recent years and pretty much taken off the collector market. As a result prices have risen rather dramatically. Several more rows of coupons not shown.

Imperial Chinese Government Hukuang Railways bonds are well-nigh ubiquitous in the marketplace. They were issued in 1911 by a consortium of banks in London, Berlin, Paris and New York, with serial numbers running into the six digits, of which hundreds if not thousands appear to have survived.

A few bear New York State adhesive revenue stamps; shown here is a New York issue £100 bond with Secured Debt $1 and Investments $1 stamps paying New York’s Investments tax in 1917 and 1918; this secured for the bondholder exemption from that state’s onerous personal property tax. Coupon bonds of this era are generally large and spectacular—American bonds typically measure about 10 by 15 inches—but this one sets new standards on both scores.

It is huge, some 16 by 22 inches as shown. Its design and execution by security printers Waterlow & Sons of London are equally impressive, featuring the facsimile seals and signatures of China’s Minister of Posts and Communications and its Minister in Washington. Alongside is the countersignature of a representative of the New York banks J. P. Morgan & Co., Kuhn Loeb & Co., the First National Bank of the City of New York, and the National City Bank of New York.

Country: China

Year: 1911

Excellent Condition.

Cypress & Nail from Old Libby Prison Relic

Cypress & Nail from Old Libby Prison Relic built in 1845 by John Enders in Richmond, VA., and was used as a warehouse. It was located at Carey and 18th Streets and the James River. In March 1862 it was used as a military prison by the Confederate Government. In 1864 a group of over 100 Union Officers attempted an escape. Over half made their way to freedom. After the war the building was dismantled in 1889 and shipped to Chicago to be used for a Civil War Museum.

In 1898 it was again dismantled and a large portion sold to an Indiana farmer who built a stock barn with the timbers and brick. In 1963 the building was torn down and sold to Charles Mercer of Spencer, Indiana who intended to build a museum with the materials. In 1995 the materials were sold to Rod Wampler of Gosport, Indiana where they lay until sold at auction in October 2006. The majority of the materials are being returned to Virginia where they will be re-constructed at a famous Civil War museum.

This small section of tide water cypress and iron nail originated from a beam from the Libby Prison materials. One photo shows Libby as a Confederate prison. The Confederate commandant stands in a rare photo pose in front of the building. The other view is the reconstructed Libby Prison interior in Chicago when it was a museum showing the cypress beams.

Year: 1845

Collecting Presidential Autographs

Presidential autographs can be exciting and fun to collect. A serious collector of presidential autographs should plan a minimum budget of $50,000. An ideal figure would be $85,000+ for a complete collection.

With regards to collecting presidential autographs on a small budget, the main disadvantage is that quality, in the end, will usually be poor and the collection will be unsatisfying.

I would suggest that a collector save a few hundred dollars over time and buy a quality piece. Of course, the key presidents — Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Lincoln — will always be in the $4,000 to $10,000+ each if one is buying quality. Lesser price levels for the "Big 4" will result in poor quality in condition, weakness of signature, water or ink stains, or even the great possibility of getting stuck with forgeries.

A Lincoln Commission will run anywhere from $4,000 to $8,000. The $4,000 to $6,000 range will often have problems such as weakness in the text writing or in the Lincoln autograph. Other problems might include severe wrinkling, trimming, stains, especially water stains, and severe toning from improper framing or long term display. One is better off paying $7,000 to $8,000 for a choice example.
