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:  Only 21 different towns in Delaware issued national bank notes. Some of them can be very scarce. Red seals from Delaware are very scarce. The town of issue is also very important. Wilmington is the largest city in Delaware, so notes from there tend to be the most common. With that said, the market for Delaware nationals can be unpredictable. Since so few notes were issued, long periods of time can go between offerings. Something that seems common on paper can occasionally sell for surprisingly high amounts of money. The opposite can also occasionally apply. The market is thin on the upper end, so things that should be rare don’t always command prices they should.
