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: 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.
