1864 $5 Confederate States of America T-69 CSA PMG CU63
1864 $5 Confederate States of America T-69 CSA PMG CU63
A Civil War centerpiece in Choice Uncirculated: this 1864 $5 Confederate States of America note, cataloged as T-69, comes certified by PMG at CU 63. Struck in the Confederacy’s tumultuous final year, the 1864 issue represents the last great wave of Southern paper money—widely used in commerce at the time and now prized for its historic resonance. Survivors at the Choice Uncirculated level are sought after because most notes saw heavy circulation or postwar mishandling.
Certified by PMG in a tamper-evident holder, this T-69 $5 offers strong eye appeal consistent with Choice Uncirculated 63: bright paper, sharp printing, and the clean presentation collectors expect at this grade. Hand-signed and serialed as issued, it reflects the distinctive, locally produced character of Confederate currency while delivering the preservation quality that anchors a serious type set or Civil War collection.
