Message:: [QUOTE="gsalexan, post: 1049666, member: 24274"]What you need is "Standard Catalog of United States Obsolete Bank Notes 1782-1866" by James Haxby. However, this is an *expensive* four-volume set. It's also available on CD, but still pricey. The catalog does not define rarity, but does show illustrations and lists prices for various conditions. It's very comprehensive. What I've done in the past when I need a little info from an obscure reference is order a copy through an inter-library loan. Check with your local library about this -- it's often free or low cost. As it happens I collect some Michigan obsoletes and I photocopied a number of pages from Haxby that related to Ann Arbor. Your notes from Brooklyn show up on one of the pages. (Incidentally, there's no "National" in the bank's name.) If the $3 shows an eagle vignette, then an uncut sheet in uncirc. condition lists at $375. It's a nice sheet -- if you pick it up you should scan and post a copy![/QUOTE]
