Rarity and Value:  These are not rare as a type. Some are only worth a few hundred dollars. You really just need to pay attention to the bank of issue and condition. Some examples can be worth thousands of dollars. It is also interesting to note that James Garfield was the first person to be featured prominently on a national bank note. Each state also has a unique seal on the back left hand side of each note. Some collectors try to collect a seal from each state. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  It has been a long time since we have seen any truly rare and amazing national bank notes from Georgia. The best notes are tied up in long-term collections and there hasn’t been a lot of great discoveries in the past decade like there have been with other states. As we have said before, condition is always important. Notes from Georgia aren’t frequently encountered in high grades. Generally speaking, first charter notes are very scarce. Also keep an eye out for notes issued before 1902 (that don’t have blue seals). Early notes from the South are just few and far between. There are still a handful of traditional rare towns from the state, but not as many as you might expect.
