Basic Design:

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 loads of scarce and very valuable notes from Nevada. There are just two first charter notes known to exist. The census shows only a single brown back. Only four red seals exist from banks outside of Reno. Plenty of blue seals have the chance to be rare as well. Any note from Rhyolite or Austin would be a tremendous find. You have to remember that the demographics of Nevada were very different a century ago when national currency regularly circulated. Most of the population consisted of ranchers and transient miners. A large supply of currency was not needed. Very few cities could support national banks. That is why there is such a limited supply of bank notes to go around today.
