The Charm of the Old West is represented within this collection of seldom seen and quite rare Nevada National Banknotes. Some of which have not been available for decades. While there have been over 12,000 banks that issued National Bank notes only a mere 16 of them are from Nevada.
While with other States, the most common National Banknotes may be had for about $100.00, those coveted by serious collectors such as these that follow can be worth many tens of thousands of dollars. They are aboutas rare as "hens' teeth" and almost never come to auction. This is a collection of Notes not to be missed. Once this opportunity passes, these rarities may not be available for many years to come!
