<B>Ball 150 Cr. 113 $11,000 1862 Bond Fine.</B></I> This hand-written denominated bond only had 181 examples issued. They were issued in amounts from $100 to $14,550. Only three $11,000 bonds were issued. This bond with serial number 101 was issued to Eliza M. Bonneau. Ball gives this number an R7 rating, 11 - 20 known for all issued denominations. This bond was engraved and printed by George Dunn. He came to the CSA in 1862 with other Scottish printers. Dunn has been described as one of the best engraving resources of the Confederacy. The vignette on this bond is of the <I>Confederate Defenses at Drury's Bluff.</B></I> The vignette shows detail of stakes, a sunken ship, plus floating ships. This is a great Confederate bond that is seldom encountered. This example shows extensive foxing and some pencilled collector notations on the back. A little bit of ink erosion is noticed along with two places where stamp hinges once held this bond.<BR><I>From The William A.
