| Comments |
Leggett, Keatinge & Ball was a short-lived Richmond firm assembled largely from displaced Southern bank-note engravers after secession cut off access to the major Northern printing houses — primarily the American Bank Note Company in New York, which had printed currency for most Southern states before the war. The Confederacy's early reliance on improvised domestic printers meant inconsistent ink quality and paper sourcing from the outset.
Pick 24 falls within the first wave of Confederate federal issues, authorized under the August 1861 act. Counterfeiting was a serious problem almost immediately — Northern entrepreneurs were producing convincing fakes within months, deliberately to destabilize Confederate commerce.
