Rarity and Value: There are about 500 bank notes like this known to exist. That total is for every bank in the country though. Each note is valued based on its own individual merits. The most important factors are the bank of issue and the condition. Some banks are relatively common and others are quite scarce. High grade notes from this series are also rarely encountered. We consider XF or better to be 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: We have handled a lot of great notes from Arkansas. There are lots of rare Arkansas notes, but you need more than just rarity to get the most money. Collectors are looking for notes with lots of eye appeal. Arkansas has a small population. Most of the better notes wind up in collections that are not in the state. Brown backs and first charter notes are tough to find. It is even tougher to find those types of notes in XF condition or better. We usually advise that notes from small towns have the most value. However, plenty of notes from larger cities like Fort Smith and Little Rock can sell for just as much money as notes from tiny communities.
