    The NBNC shows 17 notes on this bank. 8 of those have this title. This note makes 9 known. This is now the second known $5. A PMG VF25 $10 sold last year for $282 on Heritage.

    True, but unless somebody is collecting one per each denom issued they will pick up any type just to have an example from the charter. It may add a little value in that sense, but not much.

    I'm not sure thats true based on prior selling of nationals, but I guess time will tell..

    I agree with the $5 lower pop adding cool factor, but tough to get any additional premium. Maybe consign it to auction with a request to add a special note to the listing's description.

    I think that this is generally true unless one specializes in an area/bank and has a competitor doing the same. For instance, for small sized notes on the MO side of the STL area I have pursued one of each potential variety - denomination, type, officer sig and BBS vs BEP printing. At times I put in "crazy money" proxy bids for the pieces I felt I needed to complete the 70 piece set, I really can't think of any where I actually had to pay much of any premium. In fact the last 3 I purchased (unique varieties and all in auctions) were basically at prices reflecting "generic" notes of a given bank and grade.

    By contrast, on the IL side of the metro STL area (5 counties) I'm happy getting a nice large and small to cover each bank. Happy to get other denoms and types as they pop up, but won't pay much of a premium regardless of what the census indicates about individual denoms and types if I already have the bank covered by nice notes.

    Just MHO and YMMV as they say...

    Always interested in St Louis MO & IL metro area and Evansville IN national bank notes and Vatican/papal states coins and medals!

    A reminder that Kelly is several years old and therefore rather out of date.

    T&P and NBNC are the way to go for up-to-date census information.
