Confederate States of America - T22 1861 $10 PF-1, Cr. 151. PCGS Very Fine 35PPQ. One of the most attractive Confederate types and part of beautifully designed four-note series. Printed on red fiber bond paper from plates engraved by the Southern Bank Note Company. These $10 notes circulated heavily, and high-grade notes are rare. This fully framed example has vibrant vermillion devices contrasting with the deep black printing. The plates were engraved using remaining dies from the New Orleans office of Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson. All three vignettes were used on pre-war Obsolete notes from the North and South. At top center, a pastoral scene shows a Native American family seated on a bluff overlooking a city. The man's hatchet is pointed downward, his bow in repose at the ground. Seated Nereid is at the upper left, holding Poseidon's trident. At the upper right is a Native American princess holding corn aloft. The vermillion tint plate features a wide micro-lettered guilloche with a large TEN protector. Flanking the top vignette are two intricate X color dies. Plate B. Serial number 1795. This has fabulous eye appeal and from the face appears to be a grade higher. T22 $10 notes in this condition or higher are difficult to find. A handsome representative of this vermillion protector series. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society\n\n
