 * Reason:High quality, high EV (presented as a complete set). Beginning with South Carolina (December 20, 1860) and ending with Tennessee (June 8, 1861), 11 states seceded from the Union to form the Confederate States of America.  The Act of March 9, 1861 passed by the Congress of the Confederate States authorized the issue of $1,000,000 in Confederate banknotes, followed by an additional $1,000,000 in August, 1861. Seven series of banknotes were authorized for $678,000,000, but just over $1.5 billion was actually issued. The text underneath the images below includes: denomination, type number ("T" numbers refer to the categorization system widely used in Confederate banknotes and denote major design changes), portraits, vignettes, and/or allegories depicted on the note (from left to right), the engraver and/or publisher of the note, and the number of notes issued. Notes illustrated without a reverse were only printed on one side. The First Series (T1–T6) is already a Featured Picture set and is only included to be part of the complete set. Condition – The usual supplies and equipment necessary to manufacture currency (i.e., paper, presses) were generally unavailable as a result of the Union blockade. The National Bank Note Company in New York and the Southern Bank Note Company in New Orleans (both subsidiaries of the American Bank Note Company), were forbidden by Federal authorities from further work with the southern states after the First Series of notes were issued. Using lithographers and very low quality ultra-thin paper, the issues produced in the middle series often look crude and hastily prepared. All notes are in at least average (or significantly better) condition for their specific type (i.e., factoring in rarity and issue size). Some types have never been seen in anything close to uncirculated condition.
