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:  New Hampshire has been the home to a handful of large coin brokerages for the past six decades. There are lots of “coin” guys who support the market for national bank notes from New Hampshire. Just generally speaking, there are all types of numismatic areas to collect related to the history of New Hampshire
