what you have there my friend is some very rare Confederate bank notes. I have seen bills like these go for as much as 800 us dollars and as low as 100 but hold on to them they will only increase in value because of the history to them now had the confederate army won the war we would be a much different country...
It is hard to tell on a couple of them, but if the serial numbers are written and you can tell that its ink - and the signatures are written and not printed on the paper, then most likely they are real. These notes are fairly common in the Confederate currency collector's market. You can buy these in the condition above for anywhere betwee 25 - $75.00 each.
I have one of these Confederate One Dollar Bills and would be willing to sell it at the wright price , it is in very good condition .
I dont no wear to start to sell it can someone help.
Thank You

There's something off on the printing. Also the signatures would be handwritten, inks would be different than the ink used in printing. Printing quality and colors say old fakes to me. The background, overall colors would vary wildly compared to what I see here. Too uniform, makes it look like they were all printed together. I have a set printed in the 1950s I use in some education programs and on the back printed very, very small it says FACSIMILE. Check the backs.

jennifersmalley,
Beleave him, I just looked them up in a oringial 1958 book!! They are worth $$$$......
I have the same exact $20 dollar bill. I bought it at a local theme park about thirty years ago. They are old, but they are not genuine confederate notes.
we have the confederate dollars with facsimile on the back (so they're fake) but i was wondering when were they made? what are/were they used for? are they just for kids play money? should i worry about perserving them? are they worth anything? thanks
They are sold as novelty items for those that can't collect the real items. The Smithsonian sold a packet of these for 2.00 in the 90s. They are not as good of fakes as yours are.
How or where do you go to find out about this kind of money?
If you have some Confederate currency, post it here and someone will respond.
Otherwise-- there are several books out there, web sites, and dealers that you can contact.
I would say they are fake. When I was in school in the mid 50's I lived in NC and we took a trip to Raleigh they sold packs of them for $1.00. Just guess how many has been sold. I don't know if they still sell them now or not. Just my opinion
I have real ones posted :)

This is the link to DeanTeaks "real deals." The plastic holders they are in hide the variation in color but they are genuine.
Genuine bills have the signatures and serial numbers hand written in a different ink as it was created with iron and over time turns brown (rust) colored. If either of these are black, they are fake. The originals are printed on thin paper. Many fakes are printed on heavy "oil paper" or "parchment" looking paper. The real ones are on a very fine paper. These are just a couple of things for which you should look.

You can find some of the fake ones at the forts and parks in the south for a $1.00 to this day. I agree with AR8Jason. You can spot the fake ones at a glance by the color of the ink. You won't find a real one hand signed in black. I have found them to be brown or reddish brown.
I have a 20.00 confederate states america.. signed M Black and a something
Bager..in black ink, with a # 46410 .. real or not?
Sign in and post it and you will get a fast answer.
Leta ... not enough information to answer your question. The easiest and best way to find out would to register with this site, and post good photos of front and back.
Some fakes have a rough heavy paper. If yours has that kind of paper, it is fake.
Some fakes are only printed on the front. If yours is printed only on the front, it is fake.
Some fakes are printed in all one color. If yours is printed, all in one color, it is fake.
With out seeing it, at least in good photos, we can not tell if it is a fake. I could spend time looking at all know serial numbers for fake CSA bills and see if your number is amongst them, but without seeing the bill, it would take much more time. If getting an answer to your question is important to you, then a little effort and time on your part is worth doing. If it is not worth it to you, it is not to worth spending unnecessary time for others to go about it that hard way.
Leta Palmore ... yours is a known fake.
