There were 9 million $10 bills created in 1864. I would not say that this bill is common, considering probably a few thousand remain today. However, that bill you have in your hand was the most printed of the war.

[AAYNumismatists]

far more than a few thousand remain. It's still possible to buy the Richmond 1864 $10 in original packs of 100 notes.

where would you buy a 100 pack?

[AAYNumismatists]

i did a quick google search and couldn't find any, although I've seen two packs from different major paper money dealers at ANA shows.

@TheDaddy97 He's right. R.M.T. Hunter's portrait is on this note.

[TheDaddy97]

dude, If you are going to ACT like you know history, make sure you know that it is Not Jefferson Davis on that bill

[smokinbowlers]

NIce $10 bill dude. But Actually that is NOT Jefferson Davis on the obverse of the bill. It is Confederate Secretary of State R.M.T. Hunter.
