Rarity and Value:  Hugh McCulloch is pictured on each $20 third charter note. If you don’t know yet, then let us be the first to share the good news. 1902 $20 red seals are rare. Only the most common examples will sell for less than $1,000. Notes that are high grade or from rare banks could be worth several thousand dollars. Please contact us if you need an exact value. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  There are a lot of things to think about when you are trying to value a note from Colorado. Is the note from a ski resort area, does the town have a rich frontier or mining history, is it from a wealthy Denver suburb, or was issued while Colorado was still a territory? There was a time when a few very rich collectors were paying absurd amounts of money for notes from Colorado. Today prices are much more predictable. Brown backs and first charters always sell well. Notes that are unique for the town are still worth very large sums of money. Just remember that past results are no guarantee of future success. Sadly, you can’t bring back the boom days, but good notes are still in demand.
