Known IP UnKnown IP Manuscript
The first 7.3% notes were sold out
of the Confederate Treasury Department on May 5th, 1862. Interest
was set to be paid on January 1st of every year. When interest
was paid a STAMP
or MANUSCRIPT
endorsement was added to the back of the note. There are quite a
few stamps that indicate the place where interest was paid. Some
are common and others quite scarce. Some IP are unknown like the
one shown above. While we don't know by whom or where these
unknown stamps were applied we can at times make an educated guess to a
general location based on other endorsements or stamps on the back of
the note. A few of the manuscript IP indicate location, but most
simply say Interest
Paid.
While most IP are January 1st, there are a few known with other dates. July 1st IP are known as stamp and manuscript. Other dates such as March 28th and July 3rd are known in manuscript. Other dates could show up as more people take the time to inspect the back of their notes. {Please Report Unlisted IP}
The Interest Paid Location lists the known IP for both varieties of Trains {T39 & T40} & Hoers {T41}. The stamps illustrated in this section are common to all three issues. Comments about these stamps are are personal opinions and if I'm aware of a differing opinion, I will notate it.
AUGUSTA, GEORGIA : 1863, 1864, 1865 Common
Color Variety: 1865 AUGUSTA, Black
CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA : 1863, 1864, 1865 Common
While the 1863 &1864 are considered quite common, the 1865 doesn't show up quite as often.
COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA : 1864 Red V. Scarce; 1865 Black & 1865 Blue - Scarce!
The 1864 Red is new to this listing. I've never seen one before. The Black 1865, while scarce, is the IP most often seen from Columbia. The 1865 Blue is a color variety also new to me. Both were found together on the back of a T39.
COLUMBUS, GEORGIA : 1865 Scarce
It's
my opinion that this stamp is SCARCE! I've been told by a few
people that they think it's common and that they've seen "several";
but, after one individual told me that, he changed his mind as he
hasn't been able to locate one. I believe a few pieces came on
the
market. I've just never seen as many of these as most of the
others and that includes Tallahassee, Florida!
COLUMBUS, MISSISSIPPI : 1864 {2var}, 1865 Difficult to locate
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. : 1863
This
IP is Extremely Scarce. It's unknown
if any exist with 1864 date
but most likely it doesn't. I owned one of these 15+ years ago and I've
seen images of only two since then.
JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI : 1863, 1864, 1865 Common
KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE : 1863, 1864, 1865 {no image} Elusive
MACON, GEORGIA : 1864, 1865 Available, but nice examples difficult
Color Variety: 1865 MACON, GEORGIA IP
MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA : 1863 {color var}, 1864, 1865 Common
RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA : 1864, 1865 Little better than Common
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA : 1863, 1864, 1865 Common
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA : 1863 RED Very Scarce Crude 1865 Scarce
SAVANNAH, GEORGIA : 1863, 1864, 1865 Common
TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA : 1864, 1865 Scarcer!
WILMINGTON, N.C. - Henry Savage Depository : 1864, 1865
UnKnown Location IP Stamps
LARGE TWO LINE : 1863, 1864, 1865/4 Manuscript 5 over 4. Same Type Common
These are believed to be from Trans-Mississippi and very possibly Texas. They are found quite often with Houston and San Antonio issuied notes, although a few have been found on notes issued in Mississippi [AT]. I have never seen this IP associated with any Eastern areas [AV].
LARGE TWO LINE : 1865 Only a few seen
This
IP might be Army of Tennessee area. Not enough specimens seen to
make an educated guess other than to assume it's not from the Army of
VA area. It's very near the same as the last examples and it too
could be a Trans-Miss IP.
LARGE ONE LINE with BARS : 1863 Only a few seen
This IP is probably from some some location in the Southeast or Army of VA area.. It is well made and was probably made for use by a traveling agent. It could also have been used in parts of the Army of TN area.
Mixed Small Print & Medium size Date (MEDIUM in SIZE) ONE LINE : 1863 Only a few seen
Origin unknown but probably SC or
NC. Found with Charleston Postal issued and between Raleigh, NC
1864 & 1865 IP.
MEDIUM in Size TWO LINE Curved : 1864 Only a few seen
I've on ly seen two of these. Both have a curved bottom line. The doubling is not part of stamp. No clue to origin but maybe AT.
MEDIUM TWO LINE : 1865 First of this type that I've seen (Oct 2006)
This UnKnown IP was found on T41 with UnKnown 1863 manuscript Issued and Medium Two Line Curved 1864 of the type shown above.
SMALL TWO LINE : 1863 Common
Seen with partial round collar.
Found
on a wide range of notes issued from Richmond and Mongomery.
Found with IP from AT areas like Augusta, Savannah, Jackson and
Columbus, Miss. No one has yet studied the stamp close enough to
decide if it's only ONE stamp or one of several similar stamps.
Origin most likely Richmond, VA sent out with from Treasury dept.
SMALL TWO LINE Blue : 1863 Seldom seen
Origin believed to be Columbus, Miss. The ink is the same color [lighter than Montgomery] as found on 1864 & 1865 IP's from that location. Also, the small type is similar to the 1865 IP stamp from that city.
SMALL TWO LINE : 1865 Seldom seen
The one example I have is found with Montgomery Issued roundel,
Montgomery 1863 IP, 1 July 1863
and Medium 2 line 1864. This leads me to believe it's from South
East AV or Gulf Coast area AT.
MEDIUM TWO LINE : 1 JULY 1863 Quite Scarce!
Stamped into the Montgomery Issued
roundel, I don't think there can be any question this IP was used by
that depository. 1863 interest was also paid at Montgomery.
I believe it is known on other issues but those notes could have been
brought to Montgomery for interest payment.
