Rarity and Value: This is the last great white whale of national bank note collecting still waiting to be harpooned for the first time. We know that tens of thousands of these were printed by large national banks throughout the country. However, as of today, no confirmed examples are known to exist. There are only the occasional rumors. One of these is definitely worth one million dollars or more. Needless to say, we would love to see one.
Current Market Analysis: The market for national bank notes from Pennsylvania is as good as it have ever been. The only problem is that the market has never been that great. More than 1,000 banks in Pennsylvania issued national currency. No one really has the budget or motivation to collect every single note from the state. Most collectors tend to focus on a specific county or city. Notes from Philadelphia and its surrounding suburbs have a close following, but most notes are plentiful. Some people really like Grange banks. All types of notes are so plentiful that you could focus on just brown backs or just red seals and still be able to assemble a diverse and interesting collection without spending a tremendous amount of money.
