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: There are a lot of rare national bank notes from Virginia. New discoveries are frequently made and that always helps the collector base stay hungry. Virginia probably peaked in terms of value in the early 2000’s, but the good stuff can still sell for plenty of money. Of course Virginia is one of the oldest and wealthiest states in the country, so plenty of first charter notes exist and they are not always prohibitively expensive. Most of those notes are from big cities like Richmond and Norfolk. Many collectors are looking for notes from smaller towns. Surprisingly, 1929 small size notes from Virginia are quite popular. Anything with rarity and eye appeal should find a good home quickly.
