Virginia Obsolete Currency Central Bank of VA Ten Dollar banknote
Ten dollar bank note from the Central Bank of Virginia issued on the eve of the Civil War in 1860 at Staunton, a small town in the Shenandoah Valley that saw a lot of action during the rebellion. A beautifully executed obsolete bill made by the American Bank note company. At the left is a farmer with a scythe, the center vignette shows a planter watching the harvesting of his crops, a young girl most likely at school and a small eagle are at the left. The condition is very fine but choice for the grade with very dark printing and excellent centering. A very small nick is out of the bottom border. The picture shows the actual Central Bank of Virginia banknote that is for sale at Brandywine General Store.
