It is in rough shape but I think its cool. Would like to know more about it. "LOVE THE HUNT!" Report this Post to the Staff

beryl New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 08/11/2013 06:42 am Nice note. The Bank of Cape Fear issued many notes payable at several locations in North Carolina. Most notes I've seen from the bank are from after 1850 and are colored with protectors. However the early 1840s notes look like yours. I can't see the details of your note but it does not appear to me to be a modern reproduction. If genuine or a contemporary counterfeit your $20 note is a relatively uncommon denomination - $10s are common but not $20s - and is valuable despite its condition. Where is the note payable at?

Dino Valued Member United States 180 Posts	Posted 08/11/2013 09:56 am If I'm wrong someone please say so but since there are signatures (if real) wouldn't the obsolete note be worth more as it's not a "remainder"? Report this Post to the Staff
arby96 Pillar of the Community United States 2111 Posts	Posted 08/11/2013 3:32 pm The writing is difficult to read, it is a cursive writing and can't make out some of the lettering. Not sure where it is payable at. I have had this note for over 40 years and its been difficult to find info on it. Do you know if PCGS would grade this type of note? "LOVE THE HUNT!"

BisonMatt Valued Member United States 239 Posts	Posted 08/12/2013 10:01 am $350 for a similar condition note, payable in Salem in the Heritage archive(2012). Not sure if a different branch would change the price that much Report this Post to the Staff

papermoney Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 08/17/2013 10:56 am Never seen one of these interesting notes. Wow. I'd say maybe $150, as that's the most sensible, small time numismatists pay for these kind of things, as there is really no demand for them. Report this Post to the Staff
