Question About National Banknotes

I don't have access to the bank note database so I can't tell you rarity. But it's a nice note.

Considering the year and condition, I would say around $400/$500 but if it's a rare note it could be multiples of that.

Hometown notes are something to treasure. I still have the 1st hometown note I bought from dealer Curtis Iverson almost 50 some odd years ago. People tend to hang on to the hometown nationals and they become family heirlooms that get passed down.

The pictured note you posted about has been sold 2x in the last 8 years by Heritage. It sold for around 6300$ in 2012 and for around 2400$ in 2019.

Value today in my opinion would be around 1500 to 2000$. Never hurts to make offers on tough notes that you want! You may not get the chance to buy it again for a few years either! Been there, done that!

My only concern with the note is that the signatures are unusually dark and may have possibly been retraced. I would think that the TPG would have caught it though.

Good luck in your "National";journey!

Same here, I use Don Kelly's book on Nationals.

How in the world did that note lose 2/3 of its value ($4K) in only 7 years ? The only thing I can think of is maybe it was overpriced to begin with. I'd be sick to my stomach.
