An original piece of Southern money, being a $10 bill from the Planters & Mechanics Bank of South Carolina. A spread-winged eagle is at center. Dated 6 Sept. 1855. Plate C. Serial number 30 in brown ink. Signed in brown ink; one of the signatures being “C.H. Stevens”.

A large red graphic on back featuring “10” over the word “TEN”. The printing is clear and the contrast very good. One small area where the ink has eaten through the paper at date. Minor wrinkles. Centered well with tight crop.

Clement Hoffman Stevens (August 14, 1821 – July 25, 1864). Prior to the Civil War, Stevens served several years at sea as secretary to two relatives who were United States Navy officers. By 1842, he was married and had become a bank cashier at Charleston, South Carolina, when he would have signed this note. He joined the Confederate States Army, rising through the ranks to brigadier general during the Civil War. He designed and constructed the iron-clad battery on Morris Island at the mouth of Charleston Harbor which was used in the bombardment of Fort Sumter. He fought and was wounded at Bull Run, Chickamauga, and then wounded a third time, mortally, at Peachtree Creek.

A nice South Carolina note signed by Stevens.    [jet] [ph:L]
