Basic Design:

Rarity and Value:  Only about a dozen notes like this are known to exist. A bank had to be a territorial, opened between 1888 and 1901, and still be in operation after 1908 to issue these notes. And even then, some banks didn’t print the $20 denomination. So these are definitely oddities. Please contact us if you would like to know how much yours is worth. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  New Mexico did not become a state until 1912. That means that everything issued before 1912 is a territorial. Believe it or not, there is actually a wide selection of territorials from New Mexico. First charters, brown backs, and red seals all exist in relatively high numbers. However, that does not mean that they are cheap. We personally really enjoy territorial blue seals. There are also some rare towns from New Mexico. That is the good news. The bad news is that there are very few rare state notes (those issued after 1912) out there. As of this writing, there is not an especially strong collector base supporting the price of New Mexico nationals. Most buyers are just looking for one or two cool territorials.
