1850-60’s South Carolina Currency – Charleston– Civil War Bullets

Description: Original 1850-60’s “Bank of the State of South Carolina” – “Five Dollars” note issued from Charleston, South Carolina. The note is hand signed in brown ink and hand inscribed with the serial number “182”. The Bank of the State of South Carolina was chartered in 1812 with the assets of the state and operated as an arm of the State Treasury. After the Civil War, the bank joined in the defeat and was formally closed during 1869. Notes issued before December 20, 1860, were deemed to be legitimate by the Reconstruction government and were exchanged for twenty-year state bonds, but those issued during the Confederate Era were considered worthless. However, as governmental control shifted back to South Carolina, an act was passed in December of 1879 that allowed for any of the bank’s post-secession notes to be redeemed for 50% of face value, also payable in bonds. Period repairs to back. Original lead bullets excavated from the Wilderness and Spotsylvania Battlefields near Fredericksburg, Virginia. The 1864 battles were the beginning of General Grant’s “Overland Campaign” to take Richmond. From left they are a fired .58 Confederate Gardner for rifle made at the Richmond Arsenal in Virginia, a dropped .58 Federal round for the Springfield Rifle and a fired .58 rifle that could have been used by either side. They are mounted in an 8” x 12” Riker style case with glass front. All of the artifacts are guaranteed to be original Civil War issue or as stated. A hand signed and dated “Certificate of Authenticity” will be issued by Collectors Frame with a photograph and description of the items purchased.
