A near perfect 1864 Original Confederate 4% War Bond in small format. Issued one year before the end of the War, this was not a good investment. Issued to W.T. Ogden who has signed it on the back and issued in the 3rd Corps(?). It is issued by Jus. G. Field. I am not an expert in these bond issues but I have seen about 30 in my lifetime. This Bond is in near perfect condition with a slight ding at top middle (about 0.1 mm deep along a fold) and some very slight edge wear. Note other folds typical of documents that are more than 150 years old. Appears exceptionally good and ready for display.
This is part of the beginning of offerings from the Southern United States and Confederate States principally from Alabama but also from Virginia, South Carolina, Texas, and Georgia among others including pre-Civil war document related to commerce and economics of the south and the idea states versus federal power and jurisdiction and emancipation and constitutional Freedoms.
