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:  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.
