National Currency Values

The Hall county note is pretty neat. Hall county is in cotton country here in Texas and a lot of those made it all over the country. I had a Hall county note that had the corner torn off of it. It had character, just like the one you posted. The signer of that note was T H Deaver. I remember he was retired and still alive and kicking in the early 1980's. If only those notes could talk the stories they could tell!

Your 1st St Charles note did really, really well....I'm impressed. The Waurika note, with the $20 FRN, did well too considering it was hammered with pinholes. The Memphis TX note did about as well as I expected it to. I don't think the number written on the face deterred any of your bidders either. When people want these things they "go for it", no matter the problems. Currency isn't like coins in that a lot of Nationals do not exist in high grades. In some cases... like your Waurika note.... very few small notes exist from that bank and a true collector buys what is available. Besides the 10$ I own on the FNB of Waurika, there has been one other $10 sell on Heritage twice....about 6 years apart. Both times it brought low 4 figures! In today's soft market I thought your 5$ did really, really well considering the problems it had. Hope the estate your are disposing of these for is happy with the results you are getting for them. Continued good luck!

Your silver will do "ok" and will bring market price. The buyers won't show up until the last few hours of the auctions though.

That particular Waurika note sold on ebay for around 345$ if I remember correctly. I was one of the under bidders.

A few weeks later I was at a LCS in west Texas and spotted another one on the same bank .... Again a 10$ note. It was marked 450$ and I ended up getting it for $350. That particular bank is hard to find.

The "common" Waurika note is "The Waurika National Bank". There were several "Unc" 10$'s that came on the market about 20 years go. They reappear on the market every now and then and are still pretty reasonable price wise.

@19551955: Track and price is nice, but darn is it ever expensive. If a coin dealer/collector uses it, then $100 isn't really that bad for the year, considering what you get. I've seen it and the results are much more accurate for some stuff then what greysheet will show. I believe greysheet is $72 bucks a year so the difference is negligible and I believe its a superior product.
I've also seen the stuff that you've posted up, which is excellent material, and I understand that it's totally worth it for you to do so at that rate, pricing doesn't matter much when you're collecting plenty of $20000+ material. However, for most people who aren't dealers, I think the price is a little hard to swallow. Unlike coins they divide up the software for different collecting categories. I'd have to purchase Large Size, Small Size and Nationals for what I collect. That would run me $310 a year. Thats a lot of money considering what I buy, which would tally around a couple thousand a year. Not a whole lot of value there, IMO. I just stick to researching each purchase I intend to make to the best of my ability and make the most educated decision I can. I will admit that T&P would make that process much more streamlined and simple though, but to each their own.

The Waurika note popped up again. This time it is in the Heritage January FUN show auction. It's now in a PCGS NET graded holder and Heritage is estimating 4 figures.

Time will tell.

I am curious if you still have the St. Charles, MO, note? My great-grandfather was the bank president during this time and I am aware of bank notes that were issued that he actually signed in ink (my grandfather would cut the sheets apart after they were signed when he was a child). I have seen one of these notes and I was hoping that I might be able to track one (if not several) of these notes as they hold significant sentimental value to my family. I have seen this note that you posted back in August, 2013, and assume that it has sold?
