Basic Design:
Rarity and Value: These are very popular bank notes. They are nicknamed lazy deuces. Examples in heavily circulated condition typically sell for $1,000 as the bottom dollar price. There is plenty of room for that price to be higher. The exact value is really just based on the bank of issue. The state of issue can also be very important. Many notes from southern and western states are especially rare. Contact us for details. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.
Current Market Analysis: National bank notes from the Midwest typically struggle to sell for the same prices as equally rare notes from western and southern states. The plethora of notes available from Chicago banks really brings the value of many other notes from Illinois down. There are still plenty of collectors looking to buy notes from the wealthy suburbs in Chicagoland. Even Illinois banks in the St. Louis metro area have a close following. However, don’t expect rare notes from small farming communities to be worth tremendous amounts of money. They just don’t have a following amongst the people in the hobby who are paying up for interesting notes. The supply tends to outweigh the demand in today’s market.
