The price of a slave depended primarily on the age and physical condition of the slave. Other factors came into play such as whether or not the slave possessed special skills such as carpentry or masonry work etc. As a rule, the most expensive slaves (in the South) were known as "prime field hands" Prime field hands were always adult males who were in good physical condition, and between the ages of 20 and 45 years. The only slaves that occassionally brought higher prices than prime field hands were individuals who were highly accomplished artisan such as skilled carpenters or bricklayers. The price of slaves continually increased during the 1850s and '60s so that by 1865, prime field hands were regularly sold for well over $1,000 each.
