Rarity and Value:  The value of any $20 brown back is just based on the condition and bank of issue. Some can be worth as little as a few hundred dollars if they are from a common bank and in circulated condition. Notes from rare banks that are also high grade could be worth in excess of $2,000 or even more. Please contact us for details. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  There are a lot of rare national bank notes from Virginia. New discoveries are frequently made and that always helps the collector base stay hungry. Virginia probably peaked in terms of value in the early 2000’s, but the good stuff can still sell for plenty of money. Of course Virginia is one of the oldest and wealthiest states in the country, so plenty of first charter notes exist and they are not always prohibitively expensive. Most of those notes are from big cities like Richmond and Norfolk. Many collectors are looking for notes from smaller towns. Surprisingly, 1929 small size notes from Virginia are quite popular. Anything with rarity and eye appeal should find a good home quickly.
