Basic Design:
Rarity and Value: These are very popular bank notes. They are nicknamed lazy deuces. Examples in heavily circulated condition typically sell for $1,000 as the bottom dollar price. There is plenty of room for that price to be higher. The exact value is really just based on the bank of issue. The state of issue can also be very important. Many notes from southern and western states are especially rare. Contact us for details. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.
Current Market Analysis: Only 21 different towns in Delaware issued national bank notes. Some of them can be very scarce. Red seals from Delaware are very scarce. The town of issue is also very important. Wilmington is the largest city in Delaware, so notes from there tend to be the most common. With that said, the market for Delaware nationals can be unpredictable. Since so few notes were issued, long periods of time can go between offerings. Something that seems common on paper can occasionally sell for surprisingly high amounts of money. The opposite can also occasionally apply. The market is thin on the upper end, so things that should be rare don’t always command prices they should.
