Rarity and Value: It is currently thought that only about 40 of these are known to exist from all banks across the country. These were all printed before 1875. You can appreciate that $100 was a tremendous amount of money during that time period of United States history. For the most part, only large banks in major metropolitan areas had the ability and desire to issue such a high denomination. Prices start at $10,000 and go up from there. Contact us for details. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.
Current Market Analysis: The market for national bank notes from Pennsylvania is as good as it have ever been. The only problem is that the market has never been that great. More than 1,000 banks in Pennsylvania issued national currency. No one really has the budget or motivation to collect every single note from the state. Most collectors tend to focus on a specific county or city. Notes from Philadelphia and its surrounding suburbs have a close following, but most notes are plentiful. Some people really like Grange banks. All types of notes are so plentiful that you could focus on just brown backs or just red seals and still be able to assemble a diverse and interesting collection without spending a tremendous amount of money.
