Rarity and Value:  It is not uncommon for a $10 brown back to represent the earliest and rarest currency issued by a national bank. There really are no tricks to determine the value of a national bank note like this. The exact value is really just based on a number of factors. The two most important variables are the condition and bank of issue. Please contact us for exact value information. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  All first charter bank notes from Idaho are very scarce. Brown backs can either be issued as territorials or as state notes. Territorials are of course far more desirable. However, even state notes are still in demand. There are a surprising number of nice red seals known from Idaho. However, that doesn’t mean that they are cheap. Of course the bank of issue is always very important. Most notes you see are from Boise. Notes from smaller towns are going to be more appealing to most collectors. Towns that have ties to Native American tribes like Nez Perce, Blackfoot, etc. are always very popular. There are plenty of notes from small farming towns that can be worth big money.
