Basic Design:

Rarity and Value:  It is currently thought that only about 40 of these are known to exist from all banks across the country. These were all printed before 1875. You can appreciate that $100 was a tremendous amount of money during that time period of United States history. For the most part, only large banks in major metropolitan areas had the ability and desire to issue such a high denomination. Prices start at $10,000 and go up from there. Contact us for details. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  If you like a diverse offering of bank notes, then you should consider collecting Maine. The market for Maine has never been especially hot or especially cold. Maine is an old established state. It had lots of first charter banks that were in business for a very long time and that makes it relatively easy to find brown backs and red seals. It is possible to buy great notes in high grades for very reasonable prices. We are not sure if it is the cold weather, but notes tend to be found in pretty decent condition with great signatures. And it’s not just about type notes. There are some tough towns in Maine as well. You can challenge yourself if you try to get a note from every town.
