NB:
I've looked up the CSA bond shown above in Criswell's Currency Series Vol II Confederate and Southern State Bonds, 1961 edition. The book catalogued the certificate as Cr. 122 with a rarity number of 4 on a scale between 1 and 11 with the latter used only for semi-unique pieces.
The accompanying Price List and Supplement, dated 1964, estimated the certificate at 20 USD. 1964, that is 50 years ago. Today, according to some online inflation calculator tools like this one and that one, it would represent something like a 150 USD. The certificate, lot 168 in this IBSS auction, has a modest start price of 45 GBP.
