Basic Design:

Rarity and Value:  This is the most common denomination that you see on these early bank notes. However, don’t assume that they are all inexpensive. Usually even the most generic examples should be worth around $1,000. Based on the bank rarity and condition, the value could be many times that. We would always advise contacting us if you need an exact value. 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.
