A Note on Confederate Currency Authenticity
Confederate currency was extensively counterfeited during the war itself — both by independent counterfeiters and by Union operatives pursuing a deliberate economic warfare strategy — and has been the subject of facsimile production from the immediate post-war period through the present day. The casual collector encountering Confederate notes for the first time should assume that any uncertified example requires expert authentication before purchase.
The Paper Money Guaranty service, the dominant third-party authenticator for Confederate currency, evaluates notes against the documented paper, ink, plate, signature, and serial-numbering characteristics of authentic wartime issues. The firm submits all significant Confederate material for PMG certification prior to public offering. A more thorough discussion of Confederate authentication methodology is available in our market commentary, "Confederate Currency: A Field Guide to Authentication."
