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:  The market for Vermont nationals is about where it should be for a small New England state. Like most states in the area, Vermont has a rich numismatic and cultural history. You can collect colonial coins and paper money, obsolete notes, and there are also plenty of national bank notes to be had. There isn’t a single type of note that is considered especially scarce for Vermont. There is always going to be a demand for rare types like first charter $2 bills. High denominations like $50s and $100s are scarce on large size notes. There are lots of little towns in Vermont, but despite having small populations, most towns are fairly well represented in terms of number of notes known to exist.
