(1)Actual maturities could differ from contractual maturities.
MBS may have expected maturities that differ from their contractual maturities. These differences arise because issuers may have the right to call securities and borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalty. The estimated weighted average duration of MBS was 2.1 years at September 30, 2020.
The held-to-maturity debt securities are not collateral-dependent securities as these are general obligation bonds issued by cities, states, counties, or other local and foreign governments.
Investment securities with fair market values aggregating $1.6 billion and $1.1 billion were pledged as collateral for retail customer repurchase agreements, municipal deposits, and other obligations as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold $198.9 million of debt securities categorized as available-for-sale, resulting in $5.9 million of realized gains and no realized losses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company sold $602.5 million of debt securities categorized as available-for-sale, of which $578.8 million was related to the acquisition of Beneficial. The remaining $23.7 million resulted in realized gains of less than $0.1 million and no realized losses.

(1)State and political subdivisions with an unrealized loss position of less than twelve months had an unrealized loss of less than $1 thousand at December 31, 2019.
At September 30, 2020, available-for-sale debt securities for which the amortized cost basis exceeded fair value totaled $161.9 million. Total unrealized losses on these securities were $0.5 million at September 30, 2020. The Company does not have the intent to sell, nor is it more likely than not it will be required to sell these securities before it is able to recover the amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses are the result of changes in market interest rates subsequent to purchase, not credit loss, as these are highly rated agency securities with no expected credit loss, in the event of a default. As a result, there is no allowance for credit losses recorded for available-for-sale debt securities as of September 30, 2020.
At September 30, 2020, held-to-maturity debt securities had an amortized cost basis of $113.6 million. The held-to-maturity debt security portfolio primarily consists of highly rated municipal bonds. The Company monitors credit quality of its debt securities through credit ratings. The following table summarizes the amortized cost of debt securities held-to-maturity as of September 30, 2020, aggregated by credit quality indicator:
