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:  Most people collect national bank notes based on which city the bank was in. The market is a little bit different for notes from Massachusetts. Very few towns in Massachusetts are technically rare. However, some types are plenty rare. For example, it may be very easy to find a red seal or blue seal from a bank, but brown backs and first charters could be rare. We should also mention that notes from Boston are typically discounted a little bit compared to other towns. Sadly, notes from Boston are viewed as common and not as desirable, even if they are rare for the bank. Oddly though, notes from towns that are in the Boston metro area actually have a relatively close following.
