Rare National Bank Notes from Blackfoot, Idaho

Idaho National Bank Notes – Blackfoot Idaho

The state of Idaho (became a state in 1890, our nation's  43rd state) had 86 national currency issuing charters in 56 towns. There are approximately 1,120 Idaho national bank notes known, ranking it the 6th scarcest state just edging out Nevada at #7.  Six charters have bank notes that are unknown.

On the Treasuredstocks.com web site, a number of Idaho-based National Bank Notes are available. We are proud to post notes from (in alphabetical order) Ashton; Blackfoot; Boise; Caldwell; Idaho Falls; Lewiston; Malad City; Nampa; Parma; Preston; Saint Anthony; Salmon; Shoshone; Twin Falls; Wallace; Weiser, and others.

 One of those "treasured" Idaho-related National Bank Notes is from  the rural community of Blackfoot, Idaho. Located in Southeast Idaho, Blackfoot is the county seat for Bingham County, Idaho, the County adjacent and directly north of Bannock County.
Blackfoot is where all Southeast Idaho folks go to attend the Eastern Idaho State Fair. 
On 13 January 1885 Bingham County, with Blackfoot as its seat, was established; Blackfoot became incorporated in 1907.

Treasuredstocks.com has a 1929 ten dollar note from the First National Bank of Blackfoot, Idaho.
Open for just three decades starting in 1904, this is not only the first, but the only national bank located in this Southeastern Idaho town. From 1904 through the beginning of 1934, this bank printed red seals, blue seals, and small sized brown seals. 

Idaho based National Bank Notes are rare; Idaho based Red Seal National Bank Notes are even more scarce. Take a quick look in your wallet and you may find real Idaho gold!

If anyone out there is from or has visited Blackfoot (Bingham County), Idaho, please post a comment.

How to Start a Currency Collection

I want to start collecting coins and currency items; where do I start?

Collectors of coins and currency do so for many reasons. One of the most common collector is the hobiest who collects more for fun and appeal, rather than profit. Often, this attraction begins as a child who, by chance or purpose, receives an item that is both fascinating and historical.

An increasingly popular reason to pursue collecting of coins and currency is to do so as an investment Persons who use collections as a kind of investing do so with the idea that the value of the items, in singular or total, will increase over time. Supply and demand is the key concept here as well as a critical understanding that collections do not “make” money until they are sold and may even incur costs, such as the costs of safe and secure storage.

A third type of collector is the person who acquires a collection via inheritance. This person may or may not have any real interest in the items but appreciates potential value.

One great advantage we have today is the internet. For example, take a careful look around our Treasuredstocks.com web site and you will see over 4,000 items, of all categories, grades, and prices, all graded and all in full color view. And now a bit about grading. A graded item allows collectors to speak the same language when it comes to the condition of the item.

The term “Numismatics” refers to the study or collecting of coin/currency. A numismatist is someone who does this by hobby or profession. Here is a great web site to use, when learning more about such an exciting field. There’s even several links specifically designed for children.
