However, that does not mean that you can buy this note cheaply. High grade examples can cost well over $1,000.
Values and Grading: The value of a chief note is mostly determined by its condition. Other things like the serial number and signature combination can be important, but those are rarely a factor. There were eleven different signature combinations used. The Napier Thompson commands a premium in higher grades. You also need to be aware of serial numbers. A serial number under 100 is worth more money than a standard serial number. If the blue serial number on your note begins with a star symbol then it will also be worth more money than a standard issue note. Read below to learn more about how grading affects values.
