1.08.339 T-30 Confederate 10dollar note dated 1861. Scarce early Confederate note The center vignette is called "Sweat Potato Dinner", with it being served to British General Gates during the Revolutionary War. The note has small portions of the upper corners missing and there are some pinholes noted when held up to light. Otherwise the printed and written ink is easily read. This is the second series of this note without the engraver's name. According to Criswell's book it's stated that General Gates remarked during this meal that, "We'll never get them to surrender as they live on tree roots in the swamps." There is no back mark.

1.08.302 South Carolina 5-dollar bill. The bill is in rough shape, as can be seen in the scans. The printed ink is in overall easily seen, however the written ink is starting to fade.
