Description:  Fifty dollar 1882 brown backs tend to be valuable and they are certainly very collectible.  The term brown back is a very creative collector designation used because the back of each bill is brown.  The back of the bill also contains a large number (lower than 6100) called the charter number.  The charter number alone will note affect the value.  The value of any 1882 $50 bill is based on which bank issued it and the condition of each.

The note below is from Baxter Springs in Kansas.  Your fifty dollar note could be from a different bank.  Notes from small towns, southern states, and western states tend to be more valuable than notes from the midwest and northeast.  However, no matter what you have, we strongly encourage you to send us a picture of it.  We are strong buyers and would be happy to make our best offer.

 

Variations:  There are three rare signature combinations for this issue:

Bruce – Jordan
Tillman – Roberts
Vernon – Treat

Even if your $50 bill isn’t signed by any of the above people, then there is still a good chance what you have is rare and valuable.  It all depends on the condition and bank of issue.
