Usually there is no chance to buy large size nationals in mid condition for less than $100.
Not in Europe and even less in the US.
I think so.
The best prices could I find in Europe but there is only a small selection.
I also think that $ 200+ for a common large Size $5 3. Charter Note in VF conditon is completely OK.
These are old bills, what means common there?
The charter Bills are always in small editions.
Sometimes more, sometimes less.
The US bills can be extremely expensive. But if you observe the market and you do not buy anything you have a good chance that the value will rise.
Do not buy anything, wait, watch and take.
Collecting is like hunting, stalking slowly and strike with good opportunity.
But the Nationals, that is so crazy.
I always think,
a small State, States with little industry,not so much charter banks, Towns which have not so much population,
that is always special.
Sometimes that is true, sometimes not.
I'm not a profi for the Nationals, I buy by feel.
The Nationals are my favorites.
When I come next time in the US I go for hunt nationals.
Sorry, only the Bills!
I want a Bill from the First National Bank of Hamburg Pennsylvania Charter 9028 because The First National Bank of Hamburg Iowa Charta 2364 is for sure to expensive.
One day I get one..
Again sorry for my very, very special english.
