Basic Design:
Rarity and Value: These aren’t traditionally thought of as especially rare bank notes. However, try to find an example in VF condition or better at will. It is tough to do. Many early banks only issued denominations of $5 and lower. Ten dollars went a long way in the 1860s and early 1870s. If you were fortunate enough to have a $10 bill then you probably spent it. That is why most examples tend to be heavily circulated. Contact us for value information. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.
Current Market Analysis: It is really easy to like national bank notes from Minnesota. Lots of little fancifully named communities had their own national bank. Many notes are hand-signed, which is always a bonus. In the late 1800s and early 1900s there were lots of European immigrants in Minnesota. They were fond of hoarding cash. Many otherwise very rare bank notes have been saved thanks to cash hoards that were discovered after decades in hiding. The good news is that there is no one area of Minnesota that is more desirable than another. The bad news is that prices for Minnesota notes are probably down 30% off their highs. However, rare and high grade notes still don’t have very much trouble finding a qualified home quickly.
