Rarity and Value:  This is the last great white whale of national bank note collecting still waiting to be harpooned for the first time. We know that tens of thousands of these were printed by large national banks throughout the country. However, as of today, no confirmed examples are known to exist. There are only the occasional rumors. One of these is definitely worth one million dollars or more. Needless to say, we would love to see one.

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.
