Basic Design:
Rarity and Value: These typically aren’t prohibitively scarce. However, they usually do represent the earliest bank notes that are available from most institutions. A very generic note could be worth as little as $400. Notes from rare banks could be worth several thousand dollars. The best of the best could sell for more than $10,000. Contact us for details. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.
Current Market Analysis: If you follow the market for national bank notes then you know that it is cyclical. In the 1990’s good notes from Kentucky were worth as much money as notes from any state. However, within an 18-month period in the early part of the 21st century the two largest collectors dumped their collections and there was no one else there to prop up prices. To make matters worse, all types of notes from Kentucky are relatively plentiful from first charters to red seals. However, if you study the market then you will see lots of great notes that are still relatively affordable. We personally love all of the fancifully named towns and notes from the old forgotten mining communities.
