Basic Design:

Rarity and Value:  There are about 500 bank notes like this known to exist. That total is for every bank in the country though. Each note is valued based on its own individual merits. The most important factors are the bank of issue and the condition. Some banks are relatively common and others are quite scarce. High grade notes from this series are also rarely encountered. We consider XF or better to be 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:  The market for South Dakota national bank notes can be difficult to understand. We have bought things for $5,000 that we were forced to sell for $2,500. We have also bought things for $2,500 that we expected to be $3,000 that ended up selling for $5,000. There are lots of rare bank notes from South Dakota. However, rarity isn’t always enough to make something valuable. The location of the issuing bank is also very important. Early notes like brown backs and red seals can be worth lots of money. We also need to mention that first charter notes and brown backs that were issued during South Dakota’s territorial period are always more valuable than other notes issued after it became a state.
