Each 1864 $1 Confederate States of America Note available here is sealed in a currency slab and comes with a Choice Uncirculated 63 grade from the PMG. Paper notes with this grade were never used in circulation for purchases or exchanges and have no crease or fold marks. You may notice off-center designs and minor handling flaws as a result of workers counting the notes after production.

The 1864 $1 Confederate note was produced by Keatinge & Ball in Columbia, South Carolina. The firm became the principal engraver and printer responsible for much of the Confederacy’s paper currency during the closing years of the Civil War, particularly as the Union blockade increasingly restricted access to Northern and European printing resources that had been available earlier in the conflict. The 1864 series was the Confederacy’s final major currency issue and one of its most extensively produced. 

The design of the 1864 $1 Confederate States of America Note comes with a bust of Confederate Senator Clement C. Clay of Alabama. His portrait is presented in the detailed engraving style associated with Keatinge & Ball, while also reflecting the production limitations faced by Confederate printers as access to high-quality materials became increasingly restricted during the final stages of the war. The overall composition follows established Confederate currency conventions, which frequently incorporated portraits of Southern political and military figures alongside decorative or allegorical imagery.
