Product Description
1863-1864 Confederate States 10¢ Jefferson Davis Stamp.
When the Civil War began, the U.S. demonetized its circulating stamps and reissued new ones to prevent the Confederacy from using its existing stockpiles. In response, the South quickly organized a post office and printed its own postage. A surviving example is this four margin, never hinged blue 10¢ stamp that features the Confederate States' president, Jefferson Davis.

Hunter appears on the bottom right corner of the note. Ornate blueback. Circulated quality. Large 7 ¼" x 3" note.
