Basic Design:

Rarity and Value:  These are scarce notes. It is rare for a bank to have more than one or two survivors for this low denomination. The reason for the low rate of survival is that very few were printed. Two dollar bills have often been considered unlucky in past generations. So if you had one then you spent it quickly. Collectors call these “lazy deuces”. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  It has been a long time since we have seen any truly rare and amazing national bank notes from Georgia. The best notes are tied up in long-term collections and there hasn’t been a lot of great discoveries in the past decade like there have been with other states. As we have said before, condition is always important. Notes from Georgia aren’t frequently encountered in high grades. Generally speaking, first charter notes are very scarce. Also keep an eye out for notes issued before 1902 (that don’t have blue seals). Early notes from the South are just few and far between. There are still a handful of traditional rare towns from the state, but not as many as you might expect.
