What is the worth (for insurance coverage) of an original print of the Confederate "Lost Cause" poem. The frame measure approx 31" x 25". Around the poem are origianl Confederate notes: a one dollar, two dollar, five dollar, ten dollar, twenty dollar, fifty dollar, one hundred dollar and a five hundred dollar note. All are signed and dated. All are in pristine condition (no folds, tears, stains, etc). The print was printed by the Walker, Evans & Cogswell Printing Co. of Charleston, SC. My grandmother was a Cogswell and the print has been passed down through the family and is now in my care.

Hi, shaw06051!

First, are you sure that what you have is genuine currency of the period, please!

Thanks!

I am absolutely, positively sure that the money is genuine. My husband and I collect paper notes from the mid 1800's through the Civil War so we know what to look for, which is why it was passed on to me, but we've never run across anything close to this before.

Hi again, shaw06051!

Would it be possible for you to post an image of what you have, on this thread? Some close-ups of each piece of currency would also be helpful. I'm sure that what each piece of currency is worth, monetarily, will also figure into the overall monetary value of the work.

Thanks!

I'll post some pictures this weekend, probably Sunday. Please don't forget to check back and let me know what you think.

I'll get an email notice that you've posted here again.

Thanks!

CLOUGH- you were really right on the vsalue that you said about the currency. I can hardly wait to see them . YOUI HIT THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE HEAD:: IM NOT REALLY UP ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS BUT IM GOING TO GIVE IT A TRY> I KNOW THAT WE WILL FIND THE ANSWER THOUGH: HAVE A GREAT NIGHT AND GOD BLESS ::F.B.E.
