Typeguy38 Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 07/24/2019 5:34 pm I spoke with a dealer specializing in currency not long ago, and he said that collectors of small-sized Nationals don't generally distinguish between T1s and T2s, indicating that one isn't generally more valuable than the other. For those national specialists out there, is this the case, or is it sometimes worth an extra premium for the (usually) scarcer T2s? Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7627 Posts	Posted 07/24/2019 5:40 pm To me, value is determined by bank rarity. I never cared what type the note happened to be just as long as I was able to score a note from a scarce or rare bank. Report this Post to the Staff

WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 07/28/2019 12:04 pm Value is not usually much different between T1 and T2 notes. However, on some banks, T2 might be a lot scarcer/lower print or will have a name change that makes them more desirable. Some banks will have multitudes of T1 notes known, but very few T2 notes known. This can slightly increase premiums too. In general, I don't chase one of each type.. I just buy what I can hunt down.
