While cleaning out my grandparents house my family found some C.S.A. war bonds that date 1863. They were given to me and I am trying to run down someone that could tell me if they are real or a reproduction. I figure with all the Civil War history in Charleston someone should be able to let me know if they are authentic, but not real sure where to start.
Where are you located? If possible, you should get in contact with Lt Gov. Glenn McConnell. He would be able to tell you.
Key West 19’6" CC 115hp Merc
14’ Fast Craft w/ 60hp Merc
I am located in Charleston.
Take them to Aaddam Coe… he has a fairly new Civil War shop on John Street dntwn right off King… open 11 to 6 (I think) Monday-Saturday, although he may not be in house tues or thurs sometimes…
Dude knows his stuff and won’t BS you.
Good Luck…hope they are real, would be an incredible family treasure.

How about the folks at the Museum
I talked with Mr Coe, he said that he could authenticate them for me. Thanks Olebassard!
