CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA
Value

10 Dollars
Issued by

Treasury of the Confederate States of America
Date

02.09.1862 (should probably have been dated 1861)
Printer

Keatings [sic] & Ball (correct printer's name "Keatinge")
Remark

Not regularly issued and called a "fantasy issue" because it was likely a contemporary counterfeit.
The note carries an incorrect issue date (02.09.1862), and misspelled printer name “Keatings [sic] & Ball.”

But it is hugely collectible because it is included as T-46 in Grover Criswell’s Confederate catalog.
A bid of $33,600 was realized in Spink’s New York sale October 2018.
