Rarity and Value:  Most of these notes are fairly scarce. We generally see them sell for between $300 and $1,200. There is room for that price range to go higher. However, more valuable notes have to be in excellent condition or they need to be from rare banks. Please contact us if you would like to know the exact value of your note. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  Most people collect national bank notes based on which city the bank was in. The market is a little bit different for notes from Massachusetts. Very few towns in Massachusetts are technically rare. However, some types are plenty rare. For example, it may be very easy to find a red seal or blue seal from a bank, but brown backs and first charters could be rare. We should also mention that notes from Boston are typically discounted a little bit compared to other towns. Sadly, notes from Boston are viewed as common and not as desirable, even if they are rare for the bank. Oddly though, notes from towns that are in the Boston metro area actually have a relatively close following.
