Rarity and Value:  These are not rare as a type. Some are only worth a few hundred dollars. You really just need to pay attention to the bank of issue and condition. Some examples can be worth thousands of dollars. It is also interesting to note that James Garfield was the first person to be featured prominently on a national bank note. Each state also has a unique seal on the back left hand side of each note. Some collectors try to collect a seal from each state. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  We could talk for days about the market for Florida national bank notes. We have handled lots of rarities from this state and have a great feel for values. There has always been a strong numismatic community in Florida. There are more coin shops in Florida than any other state in the country. Many of these dealers are also collectors and they can drive the prices for truly rare items. First charter notes from Florida are very scarce. The type of note is always important. However, the town and bank rarity often trumps everything else. The rarest notes from Florida are probably worth more money than equally rare notes from any other state. We would love to chat about your note from Florida if given the chance.
