Basic Design:

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:  There are a lot of rare national bank notes from Virginia. New discoveries are frequently made and that always helps the collector base stay hungry. Virginia probably peaked in terms of value in the early 2000’s, but the good stuff can still sell for plenty of money. Of course Virginia is one of the oldest and wealthiest states in the country, so plenty of first charter notes exist and they are not always prohibitively expensive. Most of those notes are from big cities like Richmond and Norfolk. Many collectors are looking for notes from smaller towns. Surprisingly, 1929 small size notes from Virginia are quite popular. Anything with rarity and eye appeal should find a good home quickly.
