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: We are likely the most qualified people to comment on the state of the market for South Carolina national bank notes. Our offices are in South Carolina. We have helped assemble some important collections and we personally collect SC nationals. First charter notes from South Carolina are very rare. Less than twenty are known to exist. The same thing goes for 1902 red seals; only around 30 are known to exist. Some blue seals can definitely be scarce, but they have to be from rare towns like Clio, Woodruff, Wagener, St. Matthews, and several other towns. Most notes from South Carolina are in VF condition or much lower. High quality notes that are also rare are few and far between.
