Basic Design:
Rarity and Value: Very few national banks had the right criteria to issue a high denomination like this. That makes these notes scarce. There are two varieties. One is really scarce. If the back says “One Hundred Dollars” at the center in large print then you have a great find. Most examples will say “1882 – 1908”. Even the most generic examples should be worth a couple thousand dollars. Please contact us for exact values. 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.
