Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 03/16/2025 12:10 am Hey all, I recently acquired what looks to be a pretty rare note. I picked it up on vibes as I haven't come across too many type 2 notes. But from what research I've done the only info I could find was a HA sale of one of these back in like 2003 stating that there's only 6 examples known from this bank. My main questions are 1. Is this note really that scarce? and 2. If it is, what kind of ballpark value does it have? I don't do a whole lot of currency and I know that rarity doesn't necessarily confer value. Thanks!

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 03/17/2025 11:01 pm Thank you for the info CoolBreeze! My only data point was from this HA auction: https://currency.ha.com/itm/nationa...ction-120115 So it doesn't surprise me that more examples have been discovered since over 20 years ago. And will do Dearborn! Edited by Adam_E 03/17/2025 11:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Some states like Illinois had several under reported banks. A lot of notes from these old collections have since come to light. Report this Post to the Staff
