Basic Design:

Rarity and Value:  These were printed as early as 1875 and as late as 1901. Ten dollars is definitely a tougher denomination for this series. The value of any early note like this is just based on the condition and bank of issue. Generic examples typically sell for around $1,000. There is certainly room for that price to be considerably higher; it just depends on the above mentioned factors. Please contact us for details. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  The market for Michigan nationals is a little bit soft right now. I wouldn’t call it bad, but it can take a long time to find the right buyer. Banks in suburban Detroit towns are popular. You should also keep an eye out for notes from Upper Peninsula towns. Despite having a small population, lots of people have found memories of vacationing in that area and collect the notes. Today Detroit has a bad reputation. However, at one point in time it was a very wealthy old money type town. Lots of early notes are available from Detroit. Otherwise, anything printed before 1900 from Michigan is likely scarce. Rare notes tend to be found in circulated condition. Choice examples are much more difficult to locate.
