How Much Is A 1898 $10 Bill Worth?

Ten dollar bills from 1898 can have either a brown seal or a blue seal. Brown seal notes tend to be more valuable. Don’t let the year 1898 fool you. 1898 is just the date that the national bank formed. Despite saying series of 1882 and 1898, these were actually printed as late as 1918. So the date on the $10 bill rarely matches when the bill was actually printed. Some 1898 tens can be especially valuable. The value is all based on the bank of issue, condition, and serial number of the actual bill. Anyone who wants to buy or sell an 1898 $10 bill needs to be aware of those factors. We have a list of all the national banks that opened in 1898 that also printed ten dollar bills. Some of these banks are rare, some are common. The value of common notes is a few hundred dollars. The value of rare 1898 $10 bills can be thousands of dollars. The reason these bills are so rare is because ten dollars was a lot of money in 1898. That is the same as $522.56 today, after you adjust for inflation! You can see why so few 1898 $10 bills still exist. They were incredibly expensive to save.
