Current Market Analysis: There is no one word to accurately describe the market for Texas nationals. The state is so expansive and there are so many banks and towns that each bank is really its own market. A general rule across the entire state is that first charter notes are scarce. Other than that, brown backs and red seals could be worth $10,000 or they could be worth $500. The rarest blue seals usually top out at around $5,000. We can’t talk about Texas nationals without talking about The Philpott/Moody collection. It consists of thousands nationals and they are usually the best and rarest examples for each bank. The reality is that there are hundreds of very rare Texas nationals and hundreds more waiting to be found.
