Keatinge & Ball relocated from Richmond to Columbia, South Carolina, in 1862 after Union pressure on the Confederate capital made operations there increasingly precarious. Their Columbia facility became the primary source of late-war Confederate currency, and the 1864 series notes — including Pick #67 — were printed in enormous quantities as the Confederacy desperately monetized its debt in the face of hyperinflation that had already rendered earlier issues nearly worthless at street level.
This is a replica. Genuine examples are not rare; the originals were overproduced by design, and survivors are abundant. The numismatic interest in authentic Pick #67 notes lies less in scarcity than in the specific plate letter and series combinations, some of which saw far shorter press runs than others.
