1864 $2 Keatinge & Ball, Columbia South Carolina -Obsolete Note Scarce Issue

Signed & Issued Circulated Obsolete Note. Nice F/VF Example, no major problems or pinholes. History Provided by Stack’s Bowers. Notes were produced in various types from 1861 to 1864. Due to the challenges of unstable supply lines, lack of reliability, military encroachment and other factors, the Confederate government employed numerous different firms for the production of Confederate treasury notes. Certainly the most prodigious producer of these notes was the firm of Leggett, Keatinge & Ball. In August of 1861 Edward Keatinge, an Englishman who worked as an engraver for the American Bank Note Company, relocated to Richmond, Virginia upon receiving an offer from the Confederate government to establish a printing firm. Keatinge partnered with Thomas Ball, a lawyer, who was invited by Confederate Treasury Secretary C. Memminger to join in the founding of the firm. Keatinge and Ball were joined in September 1861 by William Leggett (also formerly an employee of the American Bank Note Company) who specialized in lettering. Type 32 carried the printer’s imprint of Leggett, Keatinge & Ball Richmond, VA as did Type 24 for a while. In March 1862 Leggett was forced out of the company after Secretary Memminger’s accusation that Leggett had been associated with a Union spy. Keatinge & Ball continued with the company, removing Leggett’s name. These include Types 33, 34, 53, 60 and 69. Due to the quality of their work Keatinge & Ball gained the bulk of the Confederate’s currency business by 1862 and from 1863 on produced all Confederate treasury notes except for the 50 cent denomination. The company induced skilled engravers from England to travel to the British West Indies and then be transported to Confederate ports aboard blockade runners, no doubt a harrowing journey. However the engravers were well paid, and in gold rather than paper currency. With supplies in the Confederate States scarce the company utilized contacts in the North and abroad to import much needed reams of paper for printing notes. Among these paper types were the famous “NY” countermarked paper as seen on Types 21 and 24. Other papers were imported by the Confederacy and used by Keatinge & Ball including “TEN” and “FIVE” watermarked paper, Hodgkinson & Co. Wookey Hole Mill, J Whatman 1862, J Green & Son 1862, and “CSA” block letter surrounded by wavy line watermarks. These paper types make up the numerous varieties available to be collected today. With the Union army approaching Richmond, Keatinge & Ball relocated their operation to Columbia, South Carolina in May 1862. Ball ran the administrative side of the business and provided some of the firm’s financial backing. The company continued producing notes up through the Series of 1864 notes. In February of 1865 Keatinge quit the business after continued disagreements with the Confederate government and Keatinge & Ball was dissolved. Please Check out Our Web Site : antebellumnumismatics.

As of 12-31-2023, this is the highest grade known. Just a Spectacular Masterpiece. A note on quality of Obsolete Bank Notes. Unlike regular US Government notes, bank notes were not printed on the finest of cotton-bond paper or with the best of inks. They were not meant to circulate for a long period of time or circulate throughout the nation. They usually circulated on a local or state level, and probably not more then a few years at best. They were printed on whatever paper was available at the time. On some notes one can see some of the wood or pulp chips in the paper. In some cases, they were printed on earlier notes that were no longer in use. The technology of acid-free paper was not there yet, as seen with some of our national historical documents, and paper was much scarcer than we can today imagine. These notes had to be printed on semi-wet or moist paper, or the ink would not properly adhere. They were very labor intensive, and were printed by hand, one side at a time. They would manually ink the press, place the damp sheet in it, and run the roller over it. The sheet would be hung to dry, and the same process of wetting and printing would be repeated for the reverse. In the case where more than one color was used, the process would have to be repeated for each color. Unpurified water was used in the wetting process, thereby introducing more minerals or impurities to the paper. As a consequence, many of these notes are very difficult to locate without discoloration, color bleeding or what looks like water staining, due to the wetting process. As if that was not enough, they were individually cut with scissors or crude cutting boards, making them very difficult to find with good margins, or the design itself not cut into it. When grading them today, the coloration, bleeding or some stains, do not deduct from the grade, for the great majority have these problems. Margins, alignment and condition of the paper itself are the main grading points. However, when finding some of these notes without many of the usual problems, one should recognize that it is not the norm. That is one of the reasons why I have virtually all of these notes certified. They get sealed in archival holders, minimizing the aging and toning effects by not being exposed to the elements, and it also gives the client reassurance as to its authenticity and grade. I have seen some very white and super clean examples, but, upon close examination, they were nothing more than modern reproductions. Powered by SixBit’s eCommerce Solution.
