Rarity and Value:  Despite saying series of 1882, these were actually printed between 1908 and 1921. So they aren’t quite as old as you might think. However, that doesn’t mean that they can’t be valuable. Your typical range is probably $300 to $1,200. Notes that are rare or especially high grade could certainly be worth more money. Please contact us for details. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  We personally love notes from Mississippi. However, most other collectors don’t feel the same way. In the 1980s Mississippi notes were highly prized for their rarity. Today there just isn’t a lot of demand, despite still being rare. Part of the problem is condition. Mississippi has always been a poor state. Paper money changed hands frequently and today it is usually found in very heavily circulated condition. Many notes are stamp signed, which is also less desirable. One of the last great anticipated discoveries is that of a first charter from Mississippi. None are currently known to exist. Brown backs and red seals (in high grades) are also rare. The same thing goes for #1 notes. There are not many to go around.
