<p>[QUOTE="kathynumismatis, post: 802126, member: 22874"]In addition to the Haxby reference, there is Virginia Obsolete Paper Money by Richard Jones and Keith Littlefield. Although Philippi was part of Virginia during this time period, it later became part of West Virginia. The Bank of Philippi was authorized by the General Assembly in 1856 and operated until sometime in the 1860s. Your note appears to be BP40-27 (G14a in Haxby). There was another $20 variety printed in red and black as well as one with a different design. It is a rare note. The Virginia book lists it as rarity 7G, indicating two to four known. If it's in good condition and genuine, it is likely worth several hundred dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
