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:  Iowa is considered to be the birthplace of the national bank note collecting hobby. In fact the only museum dedicated to national currency is located in Iowa. The original dealers supporting our niche numismatic area lived and worked out of Iowa. That means that for almost six decades there have been collectors in Iowa trying to find great rarities from their home state. New and good discoveries from Iowa are few and far between these days. Most long terms collectors feel like they have seen it all before; and many times they are correct. When we think of Iowa, images of pen-signed notes from great town names (Spirit Lake, Hawkeye, Lost Nation, Jewell Junction, etc.) come to mind.
