The note is AU in my opinion - the bank president's wife had this note and handled it - according to the story - smudged it with makeup - other than this - it is Un-circulated.

Book says $150. But in it's UNC condition, and the low serial #, $200 plus easy.

Indeed, and agree at least $200. You probably should have it graded.

I don't usually buy National Bank Notes unless the price is right - in this case at just under $300, I couldn't pass. No doubt a common issue (no idea), any input appreciated!

Coinfrog; I would suggest buying the book "National Bank Notes" by Don C. Kelly. I have the 6th edition, which I've had for a couple years. It's $75, but well worth the price. donckelly.com The price given for your note is $75, but that is for average circulated condition. I did a quick check on ebay; There's one, ungraded, and probably not quite as good as yours with a starting bid of $335. With that said, I think you did all right at under $300.

Thanks. mfhorn, appreciate the input. Probaably not worth buying the book as I only have half a dozen notes.

I was at the world paper money fair in London yesterday, and I bought lots of English banknotes, unfortunately they didn't have much USA notes (or maybe fortunately because I spent enough) I did pick this little first edition fractional up because it was very inexpensive.   I particularly like the 4th and fifth series fractional notes though so made an offer on this note when I got home. It was excepted so now its in the post... if the condition is as described I think I got a fair deal on it.

Just picked up this 1950 $100 yesterday. It is not a scarce note, but it's tough in this condition. Imagine the purchasing power of this 65 years ago!

It could have bought a few krugerands back then I guess. It's aging well, it doesn't look 65 ^^

 There are some great values out there in the early (1928-1950) high denomination notes. Don't know if they were making Kreugerands back then, but it sure would have bought several $20 Double Eagles!
