Rarity and Value: A portrait of John Jay is on the front of each third charter national bank note. 1902 $100 red seals are very rare as a type. Only around 125 are known to exist. Even notes from large banks in heavily circulated condition should still be worth around $4,000. That price can get much higher if the note is from a rare bank, rare state, or is in high grade. Please contact us for details. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.
Current Market Analysis: If you want a collecting challenge, try to find notes from towns besides New Orleans that are in VF condition or better. Many notes from Louisiana are just plain scarce. The state itself is fun to collect. The banks in New Orleans printed enough money that lots of interesting types are available for reasonable prices. However, it will be tough to find notes with great eye appeal. We see lots of notes with faded signatures. The weather and humidity have not been kind to the survivors waiting to be found. In fact, Hurricane Katrina severely damaged at least two collections we know about. We have handed some great Louisiana rarities, but they are still few and far between.
