Notes & Misc Information Not counting the erroneous type 38s, these are the first 2.00 bills issued by the Confederacy and also the first to feature Judah P. Benjamin. The T-38 is the same note as this one but was mistakenly dated wrong with the 1861 date. These bills were printed on low quality paper and most circulated heavily during the Civil War, however there were enough printed, that they are still easily found in uncirculated condition, but choice uncirculated bills with good cuts are hard to find. I have more than one of these type 42 Judah P. Benjamin 2.00 notes so the one in the picture might not be the one you will recieve, but all will be the same fine - very fine quality. |
