Rarity and Value: This is a very tough denomination to find. Only about 70 are still known to exist. Odds are that not too many more are waiting to be found. These are usually found in Fine condition or worse. You have to remember that paper money was a bit of a hot potato during the time these originally circulated. No one wanted to be holding such a high denomination if it was ever devalued. That is why they are scarce today. Contact us for value information. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.
Current Market Analysis: If you want a collecting challenge, try to find notes from towns besides New Orleans that are in VF condition or better. Many notes from Louisiana are just plain scarce. The state itself is fun to collect. The banks in New Orleans printed enough money that lots of interesting types are available for reasonable prices. However, it will be tough to find notes with great eye appeal. We see lots of notes with faded signatures. The weather and humidity have not been kind to the survivors waiting to be found. In fact, Hurricane Katrina severely damaged at least two collections we know about. We have handed some great Louisiana rarities, but they are still few and far between.
