Rarity and Value: We once heard a collector refer to these as “rare as hens teeth.” While they may not be quite that rare, nice looking examples really are few and far between. You could buy a lot of things with $20 in the 1860s and 1870s. There was no incentive to hold a $20 bill just because you liked it. If you had one, then you spent it. These are not considered traditional rarities, but they are by all means rare. Contact us for value information. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.
Current Market Analysis: National bank notes from Indiana certainly aren’t romanticized or considered top trophy items. However, if you get the right mix of rarity and condition, then notes from Indiana can sell for as much money as traditionally more valuable states. Based on our experience, certain areas and towns tend to have hoarders looking to buy everything; even notes that should be common still sell for good money. Sadly, that rule only applies to about 5% of the common stuff out there. The other 95% can still be difficult to place. Pay close attention to town rarity. No single type of bank note is especially rare, the people collecting the state care about bank and town rarity over everything else.
