| Comments |
The Confederate States issued multiple $10 types in 1861, contracting out to whatever printers could be secured — Northern firms were obviously unavailable, and Southern printing capacity was severely limited. A. Carlisle & Co. is among the less-documented contractors in the series; Pick 21 falls within a group of early issues produced under genuinely improvised circumstances before the Confederate Treasury settled into more consistent arrangements with engravers like Keatinge & Ball or Leggett, Keatinge & Ball in Columbia and Richmond.
Thin paper stocks were a persistent problem throughout the Confederate note program, partly due to supply constraints, and contribute disproportionately to condition issues on surviving examples from 1861.
