Basic Design:

Rarity and Value:  Very few national banks had the right criteria to issue a high denomination like this. That makes these notes scarce. There are two varieties. One is really scarce. If the back says “One Hundred Dollars” at the center in large print then you have a great find. Most examples will say “1882 – 1908”. Even the most generic examples should be worth a couple thousand dollars. Please contact us for exact values. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  We are surprised at how much the market for Washington national bank notes has softened since it peaked around 2006. It seems like the state has a lot to offer. First off, there are plenty of wealthy collectors living there. Geography really isn’t that important either, which is refreshing. The top 3% of the market is still very capable of being worth staggering amount of money, but it is the top 20% that we think should be worth more. You can challenge yourself by trying to collect just territorials, which would be quite difficult and expensive. Nice 1882 brown backs and 1902 red seals are scarce. There are even plenty of blue seal banks that are considered rare.
