AUTHENTIC - 1861 Confederate States - Civil War 20 Bond Certificate

You are bidding on the exact bond(s) in the photograph. You will receive the exact note(s) in the photo. It is larger than a standard piece of paper. This is an authentic piece of United States History. How do we know it's real? If you look at where the note was signed, you can notice small imperfections in the flow of the ink. This means that these were signed using something similar to a quill pen that you would have to fill with ink and gave inconsistent flow of ink. Additional the ink used back then was open mixed with iron which over time will turn brown and show rust marks. All notes have been evaluated by someone with 30+ years experience in old paper money!
