CONFEDERATE BOND RECEIPT / COUPON Here is a genuine (not a reprint) 1864 $30 Civil War Confederate bond interest receipt . During that time, whenever someone bought a bond to support the war effort, they would receive a large bond (in this case, a $1000 bond) with 60 small interest bearing receipts attached to it. Every 6 months, a receipt would be removed from the bond and redeemed for the amount specified (so the due date on the bond you received might vary from the one pictured). These receipts measure approx. 3" x 1-1/2", are hand-numbered and have the printed signature of Robert Tyler, the son of John Tyler, the 10th President of the United States. Printed by the Archer printing company of Richmond, Virginia. A very interesting piece of history at a very affordable price! Condition: These bond receipts are in very presentable condition, but because of their age (over 150 years old), light creases and bends are common, as well as tiny age spots and other minor imperfections, all of which are part of their history. Absolutely no major faults (tears, heavy creases, etc.) Also included is a genuine U.S. postage stamp, issued in 1937 , featuring Confederate Generals Robert E Lee & Stonewall Jackson, in mint condition . Both items will be sent in an archival-quality protective display card . Shipped by USPS First Class Mail, with tracking. Email me with any questions.
