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:  The market for Maryland notes is mostly lukewarm right now. There are a lot of great notes from Maryland. However, they rarely see the light of day. They are tied up in long term collections. You rarely see more than a couple of interesting notes sell per year. If you don’t mind settling for big city notes, then the state is fairly easy to collect thanks to the huge supply of notes from Baltimore. Some old school collectors try to avoid Baltimore notes at all cost. Most collectors like notes from smaller towns. The location of the town is also important. Western Maryland notes aren’t quite as popular as notes from inside the beltway. There are lots of high-grade notes out there as bankers tended to save lots of the notes they signed.
