Basic Design:

Rarity and Value:  These aren’t traditionally thought of as especially rare bank notes. However, try to find an example in VF condition or better at will. It is tough to do. Many early banks only issued denominations of $5 and lower. Ten dollars went a long way in the 1860s and early 1870s. If you were fortunate enough to have a $10 bill then you probably spent it. That is why most examples tend to be heavily circulated. Contact us for value information. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  The market for national bank notes from Rhode Island is about the same as every other New England state. There really aren’t any rare towns. However, there are rare banks and rare types are always in demand. First charter $2s, $20s, $50s, and $100s always sell for good money. Most collectors also like high grade notes no matter the type. You are going to see lots of notes from Providence. In fact only twenty-two other towns even had a national bank that issued currency. Rhode Island also has a rich history of banking during the obsolete era. Many people who collect national bank notes also like obsolete bank notes and colonial currency. Rhode Island definitely has a rich numismatic history.
