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: We personally love national bank notes from Tennessee. Sadly, there are not a whole lot of people who feel that way. A couple of very important collections have sold in the past five years, and they simply didn’t do very well. The problem is that there is an oversupply of notes from cities like Knoxville, Nashville, Chattanooga, and Memphis. For a national from Tennessee to be worth really big money it truly has to be rare. We are talking about serial number one red seals, unique brown backs, and rare denominations from the first charter period. That is not to say that blue seals and small size notes can’t be rare. However, the people spending big money on notes want something really special.
