The World Famous 'DIX' Note ~ 1860s $10 Citizens Bank of Louisiana Obsolete Currency Note ~ NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA Up for auction we have stumbled upon the REAL DEAL...A 1860 $10 Citizens Bank of Louisiana (1833-1911) Obsolete Note hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana. The origins of the word 'DIXIE' below... In the mid eighteen hundreds, the French settlers came to North America on chartered ships from France to escape religious and political persecution in France. They landed in a place they named Acadia (Acadie in French) and settled in what now are New Brunswick,and Nova Scotia. Others came behind them, and once again forced the others to move. The persecution continued, and again they moved on. Down the St.Lawrence River into what is now the Province of Quebec,into Ontario, and New York, what is now Michigan, Detroit is a French word which means "where waters meet". Some of the persecuted kept going and ran as far as they could, down into the swamps of what became Louisiana, named for King Louis of France. Baton Rouge is French for "red stick", Terre Haute is both French and Latin for "high ground", and the French influence is rampant. Many ended up in New Orleans... The name "Dixie" originated from the early days of Louisiana when the Citizen's Bank issued a ten dollar note bearing the french word "Dix" (ten). The Dixie notes where soon called "Dixies" and Louisiana became known as "Dixieland". As the notes spread throughout the Southern states "Dixie" and "Dixieland" became a pseudonym for the south.

GRADING AND CONDITION GEM UNCIRCULATED: A note that is flawless, with the same freshness, crispness and bright colors as when first printed. It must be perfectly centered, with full margins, and free of any marks, blemishes or traces of handling. *** CHOICE CRISP UNCIRCULATED: *** An uncirculated note which is fresher and brighter than the norm for its particular issue. Almost as nice as GEM UNCIRCULATED, but not quite there. Must be reasonably well centered. UNCIRCULATED: A note which shows no trace of circulation. It may have perfect centering and may have one or more pinholes, counting smudges, or other evidence of improper handling, while still retaining its original crispness. ABOUT UNCIRCULATED: A bright, crisp note that appears new but upon close examination shows a trace of very light use, such as a corner fold or faint crease. ABOUT UNCIRCULATED is a borderline condition, applied to a note which may not be quite uncirculated, but yet is obviously better than an average EXTRA FINE note. Such notes command a price slightly below a new note and are highly desirable. EXTRA FINE: A note that shows some faint evidence of circulation, although it will be bright and retain nearly full crispness. It may have two or three minor folds but NO tears, or stains and NO discolorations. VERY FINE: A note that has been in circulation, but not actively or for long. It still retains some crispness and is still choice enough in its condition to be altogether desirable. It may show folds or creases, or some light smudges from the hands of a past generation.
