Civil War CSA Confederate Currency T-54 1862 Two Dollar Bill

Description: Civil War CSA Confederate Currency T-54 Two Dollar Bill. I bought this from a coin shop over 25 years ago years ago & it has sat in a drawer ever since. The tape on the note pre-dates me. This note features the Confederate Secretary of War Judah P. Benjamin in the VignetteThe bill is printed in black ink and is inscribed “Fundable in stocks or bonds of the Confederate States. Six months after the ratification of a Treaty of Peace between the Confederate States & the United States of America. Confederate States of America will pay to the bearer on demand two dollars receivable in payments of all dues except export duties”. The note is engraved by Keatinge & Ball, Columbia, S.C. If this information does not answer all your questions, I invite you to inquire further. I try to familiarize myself with the things I post & utilize my preferred internet search engine of choice to learn more about it but I am a country mile away from being considered anything near an expert & thus am eager to learn from those who are. You, dear reader, likely know much more than me about this item than me. If you feel I missed something or am in any inaccurate, I am keen to hear from you! Please, if the spirit moves you to do so, send me a note & share your thoughts with me. Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day. God bless! For those of you visiting this item who are not also eBay sellers, I want to share with you a little information about the fees eBay collects from us sellers. eBay charges a "Final Value Fee" of 13.25% on not just the price of the stamp, but also on shipping and taxes. Plus a 40¢ "per order fee" (on orders >$10, otherwise 30¢.) This means eBay charges sellers 13.25% of what buyers pay in shipping and taxes, money that sellers never see or touch. So, in reality, the actual eBay tax rate is over 16.3% of the final sale price of the item. And fees paid to eBay by sellers are nearly 23% higher than if eBay just taxed sellers for the final sale price of the item. EXAMPLE: I sell a widget for $45, and the buyer also pays $4.55 in shipping and $2.70 in sales tax. eBay charges me a 13.25% fee of $52.25, the combined total of the item itself, taxes & shipping. Meaning that net of fees I receive $37.68 from the sale of that $45 widget, meaning 16.3% of the price of the widget goes to eBay in the form of fees. $45 @ 13.25% = $5.96 in fees if fees were based only on the sale price of the widget $45 + $4.55 + $2.70 = $52.25 total of the sale price of the widget, plus shipping and taxes $52.25 @ 13.25% + $0.40 "per order fee" per order fixed amount = $7.32 total fees paid by seller to eBay $7.32/$45 = 16.3% actual eBay fee as a percentage of the widget's sale price $7.32 - $5.96 = $1.36 in additional fees paid on shipping and taxes $1.12/$6.72 = 22.8% higher fees on the combined sale price of the widget, shipping and taxes than if the fee was only paid on the sale price of the widget. $45 - $7.32 = $37.68 is the net profit received by a seller after eBay fees (83.7% of the sale price)
