      As with most collectors, students, dealers and admirers of paper money, I began my numismatic pursuits collecting coins. In the early 1960's, I began to assemble sets of Lincoln Cents, "Buffalo" Nickels, "Mercury" Dimes, "Standing Liberty" Quarters, and "Walking Liberty" Halves, all of which could then be found in circulation. No one cared for Silver Dollars, although I would on occasion pick up a nice un circulated Morgan Dollar for the princely sum of $1.25 or so; when I could afford it.

      Along the way, I would on occasion purchase an old, worn "horse blanket" or large size Federal note. While these notes were interesting, they did not capture my imagination in the same manner as coins.  It was not until I purchased an odd looking note...one of which I had never seen before, that I became enthralled with paper money. That note was a Confederate 1864 $10 note which depicted a field artillery scene with horses at full gallup pulling cannon during the Civil War. Having always had an interest in the Civil War and owning a few common swords and a Colt Army and Colt Navy pistol, along with a few other odds and ends, I studied the note for what seemed like hours...the red color,  the wonderful vignette, the handwritten serial numbers and brown ink signatures. I then began to actually think about what the note stood for..."The Confederate States of America". What a piece of history! This common T-68 captured my imagination and swept me back in time like no other coin, sword, gun or other Civil War item I had ever held. I could vividly see the troops, the suffering endured by both sides and the horror of this terrible conflict. I knew I had to have more of these...if they were available. There was no internet. I found Criswell's 1957 book on the subject along with the then current Arlie Slabaugh publication. One thing led to another, and I eventually obtained a catalog offered by Mr. Hugh Shull of Camden, South Carolina. The catalog contained a vast array of treasures, many of which I did not know were available. I ordered a few common notes from the catalog, and I was hooked! I called Mr. Shull one day and explained to him that I was a beginning collector and interested in obtaining more CSA notes. In his always polite, professional and courteous manner, he took his valued time with this person he did not know and offered some general advice and one specific instruction-"Buy the toughest issues first". Of course, I did not follow this last bit of advice; although I now know why this advice was offered. At that time, nearly all of the tougher Confederate notes could be purchased at five to ten times less than they can be purchased today. As he has with many hundreds of other collectors; Hugh Shull started me down this wonderful path, for which I am forever grateful.

      Thank you for visiting our site.  We are hopeful that you locate something to add to your collection. In addition; want lists do work, so don't be bashful about sending a list of notes or items you are looking for. As with most purveyors of this material, on many occasions some of the best material goes out to someone with a want list on file...never making it to the website.
