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:  New Hampshire has been the home to a handful of large coin brokerages for the past six decades. There are lots of “coin” guys who support the market for national bank notes from New Hampshire. Just generally speaking, there are all types of numismatic areas to collect related to the history of New Hampshire
