Description: The 1863 Confederate Bond coupon was hand signed and the serial number “1756” is hand inscribed. These type smaller coupons were once attached to a larger bond and were cut off and redeemed monthly. The serial number is the same on each coupon. The payout date is different; this one is “June 1, 1865”. Many of the clerks who numbered these notes in brown ink were the wives or daughters of soldiers who had been killed in action. Both lead bullets are federal issue for the .58 Springfield rifle or other contract arms of that caliber. They would have both used a paper cartridge and were found on the Spotsylvania Battlefield near Fredericksburg, Virginia. The Battle of Spotsylvania Court House was the second major battle in Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's 1864 Overland Campaign of the Civil War. Following the bloody but inconclusive Battle of the Wilderness, Grant's army disengaged from General Robert E. Lee's army and moved to the southeast. Elements of Lee's army beat the Union army to the critical crossroads of Spotsylvania Court House, Virginia, and began entrenching. Fighting occurred on and off from May 8 through May 21, 1864. The artifacts are pressed into foam and mounted in a 5” x6” Riker style case with glass front. The case can be opened by taking the pins out. The write up on bullets will come with the set. All of the artifacts are guaranteed to be original as stated. A hand signed and dated “Certificate of Authenticity” will be issued by Collectors Frame with a photograph and description of the items purchased. Please see our "About” for more information on the framing and artifacts.
