Basic Design:
Rarity and Value: William McKinley is featured on each $10 third charter note. The ten dollar denomination is the most common 1902 red seal. However, it is still usually quite scarce. Red seals were only printed between 1902 and 1908. Survivors usually represent the best available note from a bank. The exact value is always based on the condition and bank of issue. It is not unusual for scarcer examples to be worth thousands of dollars. Please contact us for details. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.
Current Market Analysis: If you like a diverse offering of bank notes, then you should consider collecting Maine. The market for Maine has never been especially hot or especially cold. Maine is an old established state. It had lots of first charter banks that were in business for a very long time and that makes it relatively easy to find brown backs and red seals. It is possible to buy great notes in high grades for very reasonable prices. We are not sure if it is the cold weather, but notes tend to be found in pretty decent condition with great signatures. And it’s not just about type notes. There are some tough towns in Maine as well. You can challenge yourself if you try to get a note from every town.
