[QUOTE="MSL, post: 7894854, member: 86933"]Nice Georgia obsolete notes. I would tell you to look in Haxby's reference but the Georgia Savings Bank and Macon Savings Bank notes are not listed there. I am [B]not[/B] very knowledgeable about Georgia obsolete notes - however I think (1) they all do have some value - but none will make you rich or even finance a trip to Georgia. (2) the $20 Bank of the Empire state is not uncommon but has a cool picture of Henry Clay - "the great compromiser" at bottom right. In AU it might fetch $100 or more - in your note's condition it would likely net only a very small fraction of that. If you have the $100 from the same issue though you have a much more valuable note. (3) The Georgia Savings Bank note is also common - or at least I've seen it before a few times - it's worth maybe something more than its face value. If you had one in better shape you might get more, but probably less than $100 even if uncirculated. (4) I haven't seen the Macon Savings bank note - I believe it's a very common obsolete and not a modern replica. These notes are great for history - but not for making your fortune - there are many more notes than collectors of them - still they do not appear to be worthless copies.[/QUOTE]
