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 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.
