Rarity and Value:  It is not uncommon for a $10 brown back to represent the earliest and rarest currency issued by a national bank. There really are no tricks to determine the value of a national bank note like this. The exact value is really just based on a number of factors. The two most important variables are the condition and bank of issue. Please contact us for exact value information. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  We are likely the most qualified people to comment on the state of the market for South Carolina national bank notes. Our offices are in South Carolina. We have helped assemble some important collections and we personally collect SC nationals. First charter notes from South Carolina are very rare. Less than twenty are known to exist. The same thing goes for 1902 red seals; only around 30 are known to exist. Some blue seals can definitely be scarce, but they have to be from rare towns like Clio, Woodruff, Wagener, St. Matthews, and several other towns. Most notes from South Carolina are in VF condition or much lower. High quality notes that are also rare are few and far between.
