Basic Design:

Rarity and Value:  This is the highest denomination issued for the brown back series. These were printed in limited quantities. Many banks didn’t have the demand for such a high denomination from the general public. Today a very generic one of these should be worth around $3,500. That price can definitely get higher based on the condition and bank of issue. Please contact us for details. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  We personally love national bank notes from Tennessee. Sadly, there are not a whole lot of people who feel that way. A couple of very important collections have sold in the past five years, and they simply didn’t do very well. The problem is that there is an oversupply of notes from cities like Knoxville, Nashville, Chattanooga, and Memphis. For a national from Tennessee to be worth really big money it truly has to be rare. We are talking about serial number one red seals, unique brown backs, and rare denominations from the first charter period. That is not to say that blue seals and small size notes can’t be rare. However, the people spending big money on notes want something really special.
