Basic Design:
Rarity and Value: A portrait of John Jay is on the front of each third charter national bank note. 1902 $100 red seals are very rare as a type. Only around 125 are known to exist. Even notes from large banks in heavily circulated condition should still be worth around $4,000. That price can get much higher if the note is from a rare bank, rare state, or is in high grade. Please contact us for details. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.
Current Market Analysis: There is a very strong demand for territorial notes from Montana. Those can be first charters and some brown back notes. Montana became a state in 1889. Most territorials have long been discovered and are tightly held with collectors. Third charter notes (red seal and blue seals) seem to be out of favor with collectors right now. We really can’t explain why, but prices were definitely stronger for these notes ten years ago. In years past there has been lots of outside interest in Montana notes from collectors who hunted, skied, or otherwise vacationed there. Most serious collectors never lived in the state. You are going to see lots of notes from larger cities like Billings and Kalispell. Other notes should be assumed to be scarce until proven otherwise.
