Basic Design:

Rarity and Value:  This is one of the ultimate rarities in all of paper money. It is rare that we can talk about million dollar national bank notes. However, a fully intact example of a $500 national bank note should be worth around one million dollars or more based on the condition. Very few banks issued these bank notes. Notes like this that were issued were typically just held for cash on hand requirements and then destroyed. PLEASE contact us if you have one of these trophy items.

Current Market Analysis:  Most people collect national bank notes based on which city the bank was in. The market is a little bit different for notes from Massachusetts. Very few towns in Massachusetts are technically rare. However, some types are plenty rare. For example, it may be very easy to find a red seal or blue seal from a bank, but brown backs and first charters could be rare. We should also mention that notes from Boston are typically discounted a little bit compared to other towns. Sadly, notes from Boston are viewed as common and not as desirable, even if they are rare for the bank. Oddly though, notes from towns that are in the Boston metro area actually have a relatively close following.
