Rarity and Value:  We once heard a collector refer to these as “rare as hens teeth.” While they may not be quite that rare, nice looking examples really are few and far between. You could buy a lot of things with $20 in the 1860s and 1870s. There was no incentive to hold a $20 bill just because you liked it. If you had one, then you spent it. These are not considered traditional rarities, but they are by all means rare. Contact us for value information. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  Most notes from Alabama are heavily circulated. This state has always been underprivileged economically, so people couldn’t afford to hold currency just for the sake of saving it. Any note in XF condition or better should sell for a nice premium. First charter notes and denominations higher than $20 are scarce. Most towns in Alabama are small. You really can’t say that notes from small towns are rare, but if you get the right mix of grade and rarity, then you have a great find. Notes from Alabama have been more popular in years past, but there is still a chance for the good stuff to sell for thousands of dollars.
